Nerve conditions

Nerve conditions: Introduction

Any condition affecting the nerves. Nerves are groups of fibers that carry signals to and from the brain. These signals carry messages and information that allows our bodies to detect various sensations as well as allowing our bodies to respond to these sensations. For example, nerve signals from the brain tell our hearts to beat. The nervous system consists of the peripheral (nerves other than the brain and spinal cord) and central nervous system (brain and spinal cord). Nerve conditions are associated with many disorders such as multiple sclerosis, Bell's palsy and neuritis.
