Neurological disorders affect up to one billion people worldwide (WHO, 2018). They are diseases of the central & peripheral nervous system, which is the brain, spine & the nerves that connect them. 

 

Neurological disorders include Alzheimer’s disease & other dementias, Parkinson’s disease, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, migraine & other headache disorders & brain tumours.
