How Do Neurological Disorders Affect Cognitive Function?
Neurological disorders can affect cognitive function in various ways:
Alzheimer's disease: Primarily affects memory and other cognitive functions due to the degeneration of brain cells. Parkinson's disease: Can lead to cognitive impairments such as difficulties with executive functions, memory, and attention. Stroke: May cause sudden cognitive deficits based on the area of the brain affected. Multiple sclerosis: Can result in cognitive issues such as memory problems and slowed information processing due to the disruption of nerve signals.
