Nervous diseases are diseases that occur as a result of damage to organs that affect the nervous system.
What is the nervous system?
The nervous system consists of the brain, spinal cord, cerebellum, cranial nerves and peripheral nerves. Nervous diseases occur as a result of causes affecting these organs and regions. Even the slightest damage to the nervous system can cause nerve diseases. Damage to the nervous system can affect other parts of the body. Nerve diseases are of two types: structural or functional. Nerve cells cannot be regenerated because they do not have the ability to regenerate themselves. There are congenital nerve diseases and nerve diseases such as paralysis or meningitis develop later.
