Neurological Diseases: Clinical Mechanisms

The brain and the spinal cord are protected by tough membranes, and isolated chemically by the blood-brain barrier but are extremely susceptible if such protective barriers are compromised. Nerves can be exposed to damage, and neurons and neural networks can be electrochemically and structurally disrupted. All these can trigger structural, electrical and biochemical abnormalities of the brain, spinal cord or other nerves and cause neurological diseases. Such diseases are categorized accordi...
