Abstract
Many aspects of human functioning, such as perception, movement, emotion, thought and memory, result from highly intricate patterns of activity within the brain. Dysfunctioning of the brain and nervous system can lead to a wide array of neurological, communicative and behavioral disorders. These disorders include developmental defects, learning handicaps, sensory deficits, depressive conditions, schizophrenia, multiple sclerosis, and neurological deficits due to injury (44).
