Ataxia :

\bigstar Lack of muscle coordination due to damage of cerebellum.

Aphasia :

\bigstar Inability to coordinate the understanding of speech and producing sound, due to defect of Wernicke's area.

Schizophrenia :

Alzheimer's disease (AD) :

\bigstar 11% of the population over age 45, suffer from this neurological disorder.

Parkinson's disease (PD) :
