editor note

MJ: Neurological diseases affect the functioning of the nervous system and are caused by structural, biochemical, or electrical abnormalities in the brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves, plexus or glia. There are varying etiologies and material bases for neurological diseases, resulting in various patholgies, all somewhat loosely associated by "affecting" the nervous system. As the root node in the ontology (disease branch), this may be best regarded as a primitive. Currently, it is an anatomical location-based definition, which is not maintained in subtypes (functional specializations).
