The brain is a complex organ which regulates every action in the human body, including memory, motor skills, respiration, thought, emotion, hunger, touch, vision and temperature. If the brain gets injured, it can have a wide range of consequences, such as changes in sensation, memory and even personality. There are various types of brain disorders, including mental health disorders, brain injuries, neurodegenerative disorders like Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease, brain tumors and many more. The prognosis for patients suffering from brain disorders is determined by the type and degree of the disorder. Some of the disorders are simple to treat with therapy and medication. However, conditions such as neurodegenerative disorders and some traumatic brain injuries do not have a treatment. Phytochemicals are bioactive compounds which are found in plants, fruits, herbs and vegetables. They are not essential for sustaining cell viability, but have a significant role in providing protection to the neural cells from oxidative stress related with aging, inflammation, and chronic and acute brain diseases related with aging. This book is compiled in such a manner, that it will provide in-depth knowledge about phytochemicals and their effect on the neurological disorders. It presents researches and studies performed by experts across the globe. Those in search of information to further their knowledge will be greatly assisted by this book.

The brain is an important organ that controls all the functions in the human body. It regulates everything, including emotions, hunger, thoughts, breathing, motor skills, memory, body temperature, and more. Therefore, even a minor injury, disease or infection in the brain can have a serious impact on a person's life. Neurological disorders are those conditions, which interfere with the normal functioning of the brain and hence the body. They can be caused by a variety of factors, including biochemical, structural and electrical abnormalities in the spinal cord, brain and other nerves. A surgical procedure named deep brain stimulation (DBS) is used for and treating various neurological symptoms like slowed movement, tremor, stiffness, walking problems and rigidity. It can also be utilized for treating focal epilepsy, dystonia and tremors. It involves the implantation of electrodes inside the brain. The electrical impulses produced by these electrodes are used for the regulation of abnormal impulses in the diseased brain. This book aims to understand the clinical perspectives of neurological disorders. It is appropriate for students seeking detailed information in this area as well as for experts. Different approaches, evaluations, and advanced studies on deep brain stimulation have been included in this book.
