The nervous system is sophisticated in the body, it has two major divisions: the central nervous system that connects with the brain, and the spinal cord. The peripheral nervous system connects the brain, spinal cord, all the sensory organs( eyes, mouth, nose, ears, tongue, skin, and other parts of the body. This complex system is what regulates, manages, and coordinates every activity in the body.
Most of the children are vulnerable and prone to neurological disorders such as trauma, structural defects, brain tumors, degenerative disorders, infections, blood flow problems, Immunity disorders. These problems are defined as different kinds of neurological disorders, they are of the following:
Functional problems are related to migraine, headaches, dizziness, epilepsy
Degenerative disorders are Alzheimer's, autism, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's chorea, and sclerosis
Nervous system disorders are subdural, hematoma Vascular disorders, sudden strokes, seizures, and attacks
Infections are related to birth polio, meningitis, or other such conditions
