Neurological Disorders are the diseases of the brain, spine and nerves that connect them. There are ample evidence that neurological disorders are among the major public health threats. More than 600 nervous system conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease, brain tumours, epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease and stroke are present, as are less common conditions such as temporal dementia in the frontal area.
Brain disorders affect hundreds of millions of people worldwide. Over 6 million people lose their lives each year from stroke, more than 80% of which are killed in underdeveloped countries. Global seizures occur over 50 million people. There are believed to be 47.5 million dementia sufferers world-wide and 7.7 million new cases are identified annually-Alzheimer's disease is the most common cause of dementia, increasing between 60% and 70%. Migraine prevalence reportedly reaches 10 fold.
