Symptoms and Signs of Neurological Diseases

Neurology is the science that studies the normal condition of the nervous system and deals with the treatment of various pathologies that arise as a result of the influence of external factors and diseases of other organs.

Neurological diseases are divided into two systems:

Extrapyramidal system is a structure of the brain that is responsible for balance, emotions, posture, movement, and muscle tone. Malfunction of this system leads to the development of hypokinesia or hyperkinesia.

Pyramidal system is responsible for coordination and reflexes. When the system malfunctions, the integrity of the corticospinal tract is disrupted. In other words, nerve impulses do not reach their destination, so there is no reaction from the body. The most common diseases in this group are paralysis and paresis (a group of diseases characterized by loss of movement).

Main diseases:

Brain problems: attention disorders, manic psychoses, neuroses, epilepsy, restless legs syndrome, head injuries.

Problems with the vessels of the brain: fainting, cerebrovascular disease, the consequences of strokes, dizziness.

Disorders of the autonomic system: Raynaud's disease, mountain sickness, migraines, vegetative-vascular dystonia, Parkinson's disease, cerebral palsy, nocturnal enuresis, muscle rheumatism, increased sweating, Alzheimer's disease.

Complications with the spinescoliosis, back pain, radiculitis, osteochondrosis, radiculopathy, neuralgia, intervertebral hernia.
