Neurological conditions don’t discriminate. They can affect anyone, at any age and at any time. There are over 600 known neurological conditions - any condition that affects the brain, spinal cord or nervous system. It is likely that you, or someone you know, will be impacted by a neurological condition within your lifetime. Despite this, there is still so much we don’t know about how these conditions affect those who experience them. This #BrainAwarenessWeek, we are joining Neurological Alliance of Scotland, Neurological Alliance of Wales, Neurological Alliance and Neurological Charities Alliance Northern Ireland to call for greater investment into research investigating neurological conditions. #InvestInNeuroResearch
