Hima Bindu A, Aliya Siddiqui and T Jeevani

Neurologic diseases are disorders of the brain, spinal cord and nerves throughout the body. Neurological Disorders have a major emotional, mental, social and economic impact on the lives of patients, as well as their families. The incidence of age-related neurological diseases is continuously increasing primarily due to the increased life expectancy of the general population of many developed nations. One of the more prevalent and debilitating neurological disorders is Alzheimer?s disease (AD). AD involves an economical and emotional cost; hence the understanding of aspects related with AD prevalence, risk factors and potential interventions are topics of significant importance for medical attention and public health.
