Maar een ding: ek vergeet die dinge wat agter is en strek my uit na wat voor is,
en jaag na die doel om die prys te verkry van die hoë roeping van God in Christus Jesus.
--Paulus in Filipense 3:14
Neurologiese siektes raak nie slegs die persoon wat daarmee moet saam leef nie. Die aard en tipe neurologiese toestand sal ook bepaal tot watter mate gesinslede, familie, vriende, opvoedkundiges, kollegas en wie ook al in die persoon se lewe is, daardeur geraak word.
Omdat neurologiese toestande so ‘n wye veld dek, word hierdie afdeling van ons webwerf hoofsaaklik gebruik om bekende, en ook minder bekende, siekte toestande te bespreek. Inligting wat betrekking het op meer as een siekte toestand of lewenswyse as gevolg van ‘n neurologiese toestand, sal jy in ons Artikels afdeling kry.
Laat weet ons asseblief as daar ‘n spesifieke neurologiese toestand is waaroor jy meer wil weet. Vertel ons ook van neurologiese toestande waarmee jy of jou familie of vriende saam leef sodat ons ons persoonlike uitdagings probleme en suksesse met mekaar kan deel. Ons
kan hier gekontak word
Neurologiese siektes tas spesifieke breingedeeltes aan wat weer 'n uitwerking het op die funksionering van die geaffekteerde persoon. Ons hoop dat die volgende Engelse artikel vir jou insiggewend en van hulp sal wees.

EnglishA neurological disease does not only have an impact on the person who has to live with the disease, it also have an impact on others who live, or come in contact, with the person. The type and severity of the neurological disease, plays a major role in how it affects the person him/her self as well as their parents, spouses, children, family, friends, teachers and people living or working together with him or her.
This section of our web site will be dedicated to discussions of specific neurological diseases. We wil discuss well-known as well as less familiar diseases. Information and topics applicable to more than one disease or day-to-day living as result of a neurological disease, will be available from our Articles section.
Please let us know if there is a neurological disease of which you want more information. We will do our best to assist you in finding the information. We want to hear from you too. Tell us about your own experience of an disease you, a family member or friend are dealing with. We want to share information and experiences to assist one another on the road of overcoming life’s challenges, problems and successes. We

Neurological diseases cause loss of certain abilities depending on the field of the brain affected by the specific disease. We hope you find the following article helpful and interesting
The brain is the organ of behaviour. It is also the organ of our mind. Both overt behaviour and consciousness are manifestations of the work of our brains. Other people can see an individual’s overt behaviours, whereas consciousness is apparent only in our individual minds.
The brain processes a huge amount of information in a remarkably efficient manner. Think about driving a car. It is something most of us do without much difficulty. But to do it properly, we must perform a remarkable number of tasks.
Then, there are the things we are aware of.
How does the brain carry out multiple tasks at one time? The answer is that the brain splits the larger task—driving, in our example—into smaller ones: seeing, hearing, moving, and so forth. Even those tasks are split into their component parts. One part of the human brain analyzes the movement of objects that we se, while another part is responsible for actually recognizing them. In short, specific parts of the brain carry out specific tasks. Not only that, but each part of the brain specializes in a specific kind of task. This means that whenever that task needs to be done, the appropriate information is processed by that part of the brain.
The flip side of this organizational scheme is that if a part of the brain is damaged, then the job it used to undertake cannot be done. For example, damage to the occipital lobe at the back of the brain can cause blindness, but it has no effect on a person’s ability to hear or move. Because the job of seeing is highly compartmentalized, individuals who have lost one aspect of sight, such as the ability to see colours or to recognize faces, may still be able to do other visual tasks. Imagine being able to recognize someone by hearing his or her voice, but not being able to recognize his or her face when you see it.
The advantage of this localization of function is when larger jobs are parcelled out throughout the brain, they all can be done at once. This “division of labour” adds great speed to our ability to perceive what is happening in the world around us, to analyze it, and then to generate appropriate responses. Dealing with information in this way is called parallel processing.
