Neurological damage refers to any harm or injury to the nervous system, which includes the brain, spinal cord, and nerves throughout the body. This kind of damage can happen for many reasons, such as accidents, infections, lack of oxygen, or diseases like multiple sclerosis.
When neurological damage occurs, it can affect how a person thinks, feels, or moves, depending on which part of the nervous system is injured. For example, a person might have trouble speaking, remembering things, or controlling their muscles.
Learning about neurological damage helps us understand how delicate and important our nervous system is in controlling everything our bodies do.
