What is a Neurological Disorder?
Neurological disorders affect the peripheral and central nervous systems, including the spinal cord, brain, peripheral nerves, cranial nerves, nerve roots, muscles and neuromuscular junction. Neurological disorders that affect one or more of these can result in a loss of quality of life.
