Abstract
The brain is an efficient processor of information. It is the most complex and
sensitive organ in the body and is responsible for all functions of the body, including
serving as the coordinating center for all sensations, mobility, emotions, and intellect.
The magnitude of its myriad function is often realized usually when there is a
disruption of the nervous system due to injury, disease, or inherited predispositions.
Neuroscience is the field of study that endeavors to make sense of such diverse
questions; at the same time, it points the way toward the effective treatment of
dysfunctions. The two-way channel of information: findings from the laboratory
leading towards stricter criteria for diagnosing brain disorders and more effective
methods for treating them and in turn, the clinician's increasingly acute skills of
diagnosis and observation that supply the research scientist with more precise data for
study in the lab diligently expands the field of neuroscience. Tumors of the brain
produce neurological manifestations through several mechanisms. Stronger hypotheses
about the mechanism of a disease can point the way toward more effective treatments
and new possibilities for a cure. In highly complex disorders of the brain, in which
many factors genetic, environmental, epidemiological, even social and
psychological—play a part, broadly based hypotheses are exceedingly useful. With the
advancements in technology and a better understanding of brain anatomy and
physiology, the quest to discover an efficient cure for life-threatening tumors of the
brain is underway.
