Drug addiction is a brain disease that has become axiomatic. Especially after the idea became popular in the 1990s, around the globe aspiring health professionals treating substance abuse are indoctrinated with this belief, . Its popularity extends far beyond the hallowed halls of academia. The May 1997 Time and the September 2017 National Geographic magazines both were dedicated to the brain science of addiction. The number of other popular magazines have run similar cover stories over the past two decades•

Neurological disorders are doubtless among the most frightening illnesses that human beings face. Some other kinds of dysfunction, such as cancer or virus detection, are at least easily comprehended, if not so easily dealt with. Learning that may cause neurological issues, can be the difference between a fully enfranchised patient who is in charge of their own decisions and a helpless, terrified subject who’s worried about mysterious ailments that don’t make any sense.

Neurology is a medical specialty concerned with the nervous system and its functional or organic disorders. In the early 18th century, first scientific study of nerve function in animals were performed by English physiologist Scottish physiologist Robert Whytt and Stephen Hales. In the late 19th century, knowledge was gained about the causes of aphasia, epilepsy, and motor problems arising from brain damage. French neurologist Jean-Martin Charcot and English neurologist William Gowers classified & described many diseases of the nervous system.

Sleep and psychiatric disorders generally occur at the same time, and also untreated sleep disorders can increase the risk of developing psychiatric conditions, such as depression, later in life. According to the recent reports, it is found that as many as two-thirds of patients referred to sleep disorders centers have a psychiatric disorder. The most common psychiatric disorders are associated with sleep complaints which includes depression, anxiety, and substance (illicit drugs and alcohol) abuse. Treating sleep disorders has been shown to improve the co-existing psychiatric condition and overall quality of life.

• Vascular Dementia is a term for a decline in mental ability severe enough to interfere with daily life. Alzheimer’s is the most common cause of dementia. Alzheimer’s disease is an progressive irreversible brain-disorder which may slowly destroys memory & thinking capability, eventually the ability to carry out the simplest tasks. In most people suffering from Alzheimer’s, the symptoms 1st appear in their mid-60's. Estimates vary, but experts suggest that more than 5.5 million Americans, most of them age 65 or older, may have dementia caused by Alzheimer’s. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common cause of dementia among older adults and elder people.

Stroke is known to be the one of the main leading causes of long term adult disability which is affecting approximately 995,000 people each year in the USA. Someone who suffered a stroke can improve functions and sometimes remarkable recoveries by early recovery and rehabilitation. Vascular Neurology evaluates, studies and treats diseases which affect the structure and function of the blood vessels supplying the brain.

After a spine fusion surgery, it takes about 3 to 12 months to return to most normal daily activities, and in terms of pain relief, the success rate in is probably between 70% and 90%, depending on the condition the spine surgery is done. There may be the risk of complications with any surgery. When surgery is done near the spine and spinal cord, if any complications occur, can be very serious.

Myalgic encephalomyelitis/chronic fatigue syndrome (ME/CFS) is a complex and disabling illness.People with ME/CFS are generally unable to do their usual work/activities. At times, ME/CFS may confine them to bed. People with ME/CFS have overwhelming fatigue which is not improved by rest. ME/CFS may get worse after any activity, whether it’s physical or mental. This symptom is known as post-exertional malaise (PEM). Other symptoms can also include problems with thinking, sleep, concentrating, pain, and dizziness. People with ME/CFS may not look ill However,

• People with ME/CFS are not able to function the same way they did before they became ill.
• ME/CFS changes people’s ability to do daily tasks, like taking a shower or preparing a meal.
• ME/CFS often makes it hard to keep a job, go to school, and take part in family and social life.
• ME/CFS can last for years and sometimes leads to serious disability.
• At least one in four ME/CFS patients is bed- or house-bound for long periods during their illness.

Epilepsy is a neurocerebrovascular disorder in which brain activity becomes abnormal, causing seizures of unusual behavior, sensations, and sometimes loss of awareness. This disease is a chronic disorder which has diverse clinical characteristics that may preclude a singular mechanism a neurological disorder marked by sudden recurrent episodes of seizures due to disturbances in electrical signaling and its transmission in the brain.

Computational Neuroscience is the field in which mathematical tools and theories are used to investigate brain function. It focuses on the description of biologically plausible neurons (and neural systems) and their physiology and dynamics, and it is therefore not concerned with biologically unrealistic disciplines such as connectionism, artificial neural networks,machine learning, artificial intelligence and computational learning theory concept. It can also incorporate various approaches from electrical engineering & applied computer science so as to understand how the nervous system processes information.

Neurocardiology denotes to pathophysiological & neuroanatomical interactions of the nervous & cardiovascular systems. The stress effects on the heart are studied in terms of the heart's interactions with both the peripheral nervous system and the central nervous system. Clinical issues in neuro-cardiology include hypoxic-ischemic brain injury, neurogenic stress cardiomyopathy, cerebral embolism, encephalopathy, neurologic sequelae of cardiac & thoracic surgery and cardiac interventions, and cardiovascular findings in patients with primary neurological diseaseThe constant communication between the heart and the brain has proved invaluable to interdisciplinary fields of neurological and cardiac diseases. Variations in the neural rhythms provide evidence that a problem is present regarding physiologic regulation and help physicians determine the underlying condition quicker based on the given symptoms.

This deals with toxicity of Central Nervous System affecting the brain and destructs the Nerve tissues. Cases of this substances include Conotoxin, Chlorotoxin, Tetrodotoxin, causes neuro-toxicity & directly affecting the brain and related functions. Neurotoxicity may also occur due to some drug therapies, organ transplant or exposures to significant metal. Many billions of dollars spend each year voluntarily for purchasing chemicals like caffeine, alcohol, and nicotine to influence the nervous system.

During this field, scientists investigate the central and peripheral nervous systems at the amount of whole organs, cellular networks, single cells, or maybe subcellular compartments. A unifying feature of this wide-ranging discipline is associate interest within the mechanisms that result in the generation and propagation of electrical impulses among and between neurons. Neurophysiology involves the study of both pathophysiology along with clinical methods used to diagnosis both in peripheral and central nervous system. This subject is very important not just for our understanding of the fascinating processes driving human thought, however conjointly for our ability to diagnose and treat disorders associated with system malfunction.
