No surprise there. What is surprising is the likelihood that we'll all be affected at some point in our lives, either personally, or with a family member's struggle with a neurological disorder. That's because many people don't realize the range of brain-related diseases. According to the Society for Neuroscience, Alzheimer's disease, addiction, learning disorders, Huntington's disease, stroke, multiple sclerosis, chronic pain, depression, and epilepsy are all brain-related diseases and disorders. During Brain Awareness Week, DATE, and throughout the month of March, the public will have an opportunity to learn about the exciting strides that brain researchers are making in unraveling the mysteries of the brain and delivering treatments for disorders that may affect you or someone you know.
