Diseases that affect the central and peripheral nervous system are called neurological disorders. These include the brain, spinal cord, cranial nerves, peripheral nerves, nerve roots, autonomic nervous system, neuromuscular junction, and muscles. Some disorders of the nervous system include: Structural disorders: Such as brain or spinal cord injury, Bell's palsy, cervical spondylosis, carpal tunnel syndrome, brain or spinal cord tumors, peripheral neuropathy, and Guillain-Barré syndrome Functional disorders: Such as headache, epilepsy, dizziness, and neuralgia Some examples of...
