A neurological disorder refers to a type of disorder that affects the nervous system. These disorders include multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease and other dementias, Parkinson's disease, brain tumors, epilepsy, neuroinfections, and cerebrovascular diseases. There are several signs and symptoms of these disorders, such as muscle weakness, seizures, loss of sensation, paralysis and poor coordination. Neurological disorders are diagnosed using a variety of medical techniques, including positron emission tomography (PET), electroencephalography (EEG), single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), computerized tomography (CT scan) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI scan). These medical technologies generate massive amounts of complex and high-dimensional data, which is a crucial source for planning therapies and treatments. Various advances in clinical practice and medical technologies are being developed, such as therapies with the potential to detect and treat Alzheimer's disease before its symptoms manifest, usage of stem cells for replacement therapy, and development of implantable wireless brain devices. This book unravels the recent studies on neurological disorders. It elucidates the advances in medical technology and clinical practice with respect to these disorders. Those in search of information to further their knowledge will be greatly assisted by this book.

The brain is an organ, which acts as the center of the nervous system in all vertebrates. It is located inside the head, generally near the sensory organs for senses like vision. It is the most complicated organ in the body of humans. A neurological disorder refers to a type of disorder of the nervous system. A variety of symptoms can be caused by structural, electrical or biochemical abnormalities in the brain, spinal cord or other nerves. The diverse symptoms associated with neurological disorders, are muscle weakness, seizures, poor coordination, altered levels of consciousness, paralysis, pain, loss of sensation and confusion. Various interventions that can be used for neurological disorders include lifestyle changes, neurorehabilitation, medication, preventive measures, physiotherapy or other therapy, pain management, a specialized diet and surgery. This book unravels the recent studies in the field of neurological disorders. Researchers and students actively engaged in the study of these disorders will find this book full of crucial and unexplored concepts.
