What is Neurological Disorders
Neurology is the branch of medicine that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of disorders of the nervous system. The nervous system is a complex network of nerves and cells that controls all aspects of our body, from basic functions like breathing and heart rate to complex activities like thinking, feeling, and moving.
Key Factors Contributing to Neurological Disorders
Numerous factors can contribute to neurological disorders, including:
- Genetics: Some neurological conditions are inherited, meaning they are passed down from parents to children through genes.
- Age: The risk of developing certain neurological disorders, like Alzheimer’s disease, increases with age.
- Infections: Viruses, bacteria, and parasites can cause infections that damage the nervous system.
- Injuries: Head trauma, spinal cord injuries, and other injuries can damage the nervous system.
- Autoimmune diseases: In these conditions, the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissue, including the nervous system.
- Toxic exposure: Exposure to certain toxins, such as lead or mercury, can damage the nervous system.
- Lifestyle factors: Poor diet, lack of exercise, and smoking can increase the risk of developing certain neurological disorders.
