Functional disorders: These result from abnormalities in how the nervous system functions, such as epilepsy or migraines.
Degenerative disorders: These are characterized by progressive deterioration of the nervous system, as seen in conditions like Alzheimer's disease or Parkinson's disease.
Psychiatric disorders: While not purely neurological, these conditions can involve neurological components, such as depression and anxiety disorders.
The symptoms of neurological disorders can vary widely, depending on the specific condition and the affected part of the nervous system. Common symptoms include headaches, numbness, weakness, cognitive impairments, and movement difficulties.
Diagnosing and treating neurological disorders often involve a combination of medical history assessment, physical examinations, imaging studies (such as MRI or CT scans), and specialized tests like electroencephalography (EEG) or nerve conduction studies. Treatment approaches may include medications, physical therapy, surgery, and lifestyle modifications.
Study Tips
When studying neurological disorders, it's important to:
Develop and use models to illustrate that energy at the macroscopic scale can be accounted for as either motions of particles or energy stored in fields.
