The specific causes of neurological problems vary, but can include genetic disorders, congenital abnormalities or disorders, infections, lifestyle or environmental health problems including malnutrition, and brain injury, spinal cord injury, nerve injury and gluten sensitivity (with or without intestinal damage or digestive symptoms). A major factor reported to induce neurological problems is metal poisoning also known as metallosis. In the past, the medical field was not as advanced as it is today, many artificial implant procedures used methods such as metal to replace the required malfunctioning structure. For example, full metal hip implants. The implant has obvious long-term side effects, which increase the risk of health problems as the implant begins to wear out. Metals usually corrode after time and tiny metal particles such as cobalt may fall and land in the bloodstream. Constant increase of metal levels are neurotoxicants and cause various neurological diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease, Guillain-Barré syndrome or Huntington’s disease, which is why surgeons have reduce said procedures and have begun to use different types of biomaterials. The neurological problem may start in another body system that interacts with the nervous system. For example, cerebrovascular disorders involve brain injury due to problems with the blood vessels (cardiovascular system) supplying the brain; autoimmune disorders involve damage caused by the body's own immune system; lysosomal storage diseases such as Niemann-Pick disease can lead to neurological deterioration. The National Institutes of Health recommend considering the evaluation of an underlying celiac disease in people with unexplained neurological symptoms, particularly peripheral neuropathy or ataxia.

Most common disorders and treatments in humans
Since neurological disorders range from something as simple as a headache to something more serious such as dementia, many people suffer dementia without knowing. However, the most widespread neurological disorders are migraines, Parkinson’s disease, and Alzheimer’s disease. Constant migraines are the leading cause to increase the chances of other diseases to take place such as strokes or seizures and usually have a less invasive treatment, more commonly pain relievers or other pharmaceutical drugs. Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s are a common but rare disease that is knowing little information about the disease. It can be treated with pharmaceutical drugs as well. However, advances in technology have proven to be effective in some people, with the help of deep brain stimulation. This method treats advance Parkinson’s and consists of implanting a device, which uses high frequencies to stimulate the brain, more specifically in the thalamus section of the brain. Pacemakers allow this process to take place, as the impulses from the device hit the brain, these frequencies inhibit the subthalamic nucleus that reduces the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease allowing people to live a rather normal life.

Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological disease worldwide which affects people of all ages. Epilepsy is a noncommunicable disease, this means that it is a non-infectious health condition that cannot be unfold from particular person to person. An individual is recognized with epilepsy if they had two unprovoked seizures. Causes of epilepsy can occur when the baby is in the womb, during birth, or after the birth. Seizures in epilepsy can be controlled with the appropriate medicine. In poor countries about 75% of people that suffer epilepsy do not receive the proper treatment. Surgery to remove a small area of the brain that causes the seizures may be necessary for patients whose medication does not work.
