Neuromuscular and neurocognitive disorders affect movement, muscle function, and brain cognition. Neuromuscular conditions, such as muscular dystrophy, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and myasthenia gravis, involve nerve-muscle dysfunction, leading to weakness and mobility issues. Advances in gene therapy, neuromodulation, and targeted biologics improve management and patient outcomes. Neurocognitive disorders, including Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and frontotemporal dementia, impact memory, behavior, and executive function. Early diagnosis through biomarkers, AI-driven imaging, and novel therapeutics, such as monoclonal antibodies, offer hope for slowing disease progression. Multidisciplinary approaches, integrating rehabilitation, pharmacology, and assistive technology, enhance quality of life and support long-term neurological care.
