Abstract


Various factors such as illness, genetics, and trauma have been identified as potential aetiologies for a diverse array of neurological conditions. The hazards, identification, and treatments for each type differ. Dementia, brain tumours, and other neurological disorders represent a subset of the various pathological conditions that can impact the brain. They may introduce challenges in the execution of mundane activities. The prognosis of an individual is influenced by various factors, including brain pathology, spatial distribution, and the degree of severity. The prevalence of brain diseases poses a significant concern in global healthcare due to the considerable stress associated with contemporary lifestyles. Consequently, there exists a compelling necessity for continuous investigations pertaining to the anatomy and functionality of the brain within the framework of both well-being and disease. Since antiquity, scholars have engaged in the inquiry and analysis of the functional and anatomical brain aspects, resulting in the extensive acquisition of knowledge in this field globally. Scientists have made significant progress in elucidating the aetiology of brain disorders and abnormalities, bringing them closer to a comprehensive understanding of these conditions. The present synopsis encompasses a compilation of cerebral ailments and dysfunctions, delineating their respective manifestations and the therapeutic modalities employed for their management.
