Alzheimer's Disease : Progressive degeneration of the brain with abnormal protein deposits.

Ataxia : Damage to cerebellum causing disorganized, clumsy movements appear drunk

Cerebral Edema : After head injury, retention of water in brain.

Cerebrovascular Accident : May cause medulla oblongata to be wedged into foramen magnum by pressure of blood.

Concussion : slight and transient brain injury

Contusion : Tramatic injury that destroys brain tissue

Encephalitis : acute inflammation of the brain due to bacteria or virus

Flaccid Paralysis : Nerve impulses cannot reach the muscles served by the damaged ventral root

Huntington Disease : neurodegenerative genetic disorder, which affects muscle coordination and some cognitive functions, typically becoming noticeable in middle age

Hydrocephalus : puts drainage of cerebrospinal fluid was obstructed so puts pressure on the brain.

Interrupted blood Circulation : Anything that prevents blood flow, cold and continous pressure

Miningitis : is swelling and irritation (inflammation) of the membranes covering the brain and spinal cord

Motor aphasia : defect or loss of the power of expression by speech, writing, or signs, or of comprehending spoken or written language, due to injury or disease of the brain centers

Multiple Sclerosis : Myelin sheaths around fibers are gradually destroyued and converted to hardened sheaths

Parkinson's Disease : is a degenerative disorder of the central nervous system that often impairs the sufferer's motor skills, speech, and other functions

Quadriplegic :  all four limbs are paralyzed.

Sensory Aphasia :  aphasia characterized by fluent but meaningless speech and severe impairment of the ability understand spoken or written words

Stroke : A sudden loss of brain function caused by a blockage or rupture of a blood vessel to the brain, characterized by loss of muscular control, diminution or loss of sensation or consciousness, dizziness, slurred speech, or other symptoms that vary with the extent and severity of the damage to the brain

Transient Ischemic attack : A mini stroke, fleeting symptoms of a CVA.

Traumatic Brain Injury : occurs when an outside force traumatically injures the brain

Reductions Of nuerolemma permeability to sodium ions : alchol, sedatives, anesthetics alchol, sedatives, anesthetics
