Neurological disorders: Introduction 

The disorder of the nervous system is known as neurological disorders. The nervous system is responsible for carrying out all the functions of the body. It is the engine of the human body, without which the body would not function. The nervous system is divided into two primary regions- the central nervous system and the peripheral nervous system. The central nervous system or CNS consists of the brain and spinal cord, and the peripheral nervous system or PNS consists of everything else. Thus, the malfunctioning of the brain, the spinal cord or disruption in the connection of the nerves in the body, can lead to neurological disorders.

Lack of consciousness, stroke, paralysis, poor coordination, loss of memory, tremors and seizures, headache, etc are some of the common symptoms of neurological disorders. Often the symptoms originate from the peripheral nervous system. This could be, a result of injury or some illness. The neurological disorder symptoms can also arise from nerve damage or autoimmune diseases. Apart from this, it is also important to notice the signs and symptoms of neurological disorders in newborns.
