Neurological Problems
Abstract
The main components of your nervous system are the brain, the spinal cord, and the
nerves. Together they control all the workings of the body. The nervous system is one
of the main systems in your body that you can’t lose any part of it and some of it is
irreplaceable. If any part of your nervous system is damaged, you can suffer from
Introduction
the nervous system is very complex, highly specialized system. It controls the
interactions between you and the world around you by using 10 billion nerve cells.
Sensations
writing, reflexes, blood flow and pressure, digestion, and body temperature,
respectively.
The nervous system is divided into the brain and spinal cord (central nervous system,
or CNS) and the nerve cells that control voluntary and involuntary movements
depend on which area of the nervous system is involved and what is causing the
problem. Nervous system problems may occur slowly and cause a gradual loss of
problems (acute). Symptoms may be mild or severe. There are more than 600
neurologic diseases. Some serious conditions, diseases, and injuries that can cause
Diseases of the blood vessels that supply the brain, such as stroke.
Methods
In the beginning, I searched for the main neurological problems around the world, and
the most significant ones. Then, I collected the top major neurological problems and
started searching about them in thrustable websites that belong to medical institutions
and universities. I also search in some books like Campbell’s Biology, Human
Biology, and Life, the science of biology. At the end, I collect all the information
from the different sources and started to mix them up in an organized way to come up
Analysis
As we said earlier in the introduction, neurological problems vary and have many
Alzheimer's disease:
Alzheimer's disease is a progressive disease that destroys memory and other important
mental functions. At first, someone with Alzheimer's disease may notice mild
confusion and difficulty remembering. Eventually, people with the disease may even
forget important people in their lives and undergo dramatic personality changes.
improve symptoms. This can sometimes help people with Alzheimer's disease
maximize function and maintain independence for a little while longer. But because
there's no cure for Alzheimer's disease, it's important to seek supportive services and
Symptoms:
Many important skills are not lost until very late in the disease. These include the
ability to read, dance and sing, enjoy old music, engage in crafts and hobbies, and tell
stories. This is because information, skills and habits learned early in life are among
the last abilities to be lost as the disease progresses; the part of the brain that stores
Causes
Scientists believe that for most people, Alzheimer's disease is caused by a
combination of genetic, lifestyle and environmental factors that affect the brain over
time. Less than 5 percent of the time, Alzheimer's is caused by specific genetic
Stroke
The signs of a stroke include a sudden and severe headache, paralysis, or difficulty
speaking. These problems are caused when part of the brain doesn’t get enough blood.
Symptoms
sudden weakness
speech problems
trouble seeing
Causes
In most cases strokes are caused by a blood clot that is blocking a blood vessel in the
brain. These clots can form in the brain itself, for example because of changes in the
artery wall caused by infection. However, they are more likely to form in another part
of the body and be carried into the brain in the bloodstream, where they then block a
ischemic stroke. Bleeding in the brain is the second, less common cause. This occurs
if, for instance, a blood vessel ruptures and blood leaks into the brain tissue. In both
cases, one part of the brain is no longer supplied with enough oxygen. The sooner the
treatment is started and the oxygen supply is restored, the better the chances are of
Treatment
Acute treatment aims to save a person's life and minimize damage as much as
possible. The type of treatment will mainly depend on whether the stroke was caused
If it was caused by a blood clot, the doctors generally try to break it up as quickly as
sometimes by operating.
Conclusion
Neurological problems vary worldwide and affect a lot of people for many different
reasons. Almost all of them don’t have a cure yet, but a lot of medical institution and
companies are in their way to find one due to a lot of researches, money, and
researchers who sacrifice their life and time to help others to help humanity to reach
its ultimate goal, immorality, or at least for now, the healthy aging.
Recommendation
As the neurological problems vary, their causes and treatment vary too. So I
recommend every one to be aware of the causes and try to prevent the disease before
it starts. I also recommend companies and universities to spend more money on the
