ABSTRACT

Neurological disorders discussed in this chapter are considered as integral part of the nervous system diseases. They most often affect the brain, but they also the spinal cord and nerves. Besides Alzheimer’s disease (Chapter 4), three other major neurological diseases show motor and sometimes mental aspects at different times in life: Parkinson’s disease (Section 5.1), multiple sclerosis (Section 5.2), and epilepsy (Section 5.3).
