Studying the effects of Exposure to Chemicals on The brain and Nervous System and The risk of Chemical Pollution
Abstract: Scientific research and studies on chemical pollution show that exposure of the brain and nervous system to chemicals causes serious damage ranging from cognitive, motor, and nerve cell disorders to chronic diseases such as Alzheimer's and neurological paralysis. These substances (such as lead ions, mercury, solvents that combine and dissolve easily in the blood, and pesticides) disrupt neurotransmitters and cause cell damage, especially during the early stages of body development. …

Unani Concepts of Brain Pathology: Humoral Mechanisms in Māddī Neurological Disorders
Abstract: Background: The Unani System of Medicine (USM) considers the brain (Dimāgh) as the principal organ of Quwā Nafsāniyya (psychic faculties), responsible for sensation, cognition, memory, movement, and emotional regulation. According to Unani principles, health is maintained through equilibrium of Mizāj (temperament) and Akhlāṭ (humours), whereas disease develops when this balance is disturbed.

Structure based pharmacophore Modelling of compounds against Neurodegenerative disorder – Amyotrophic Lateral sclerosis
Abstract: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a devastating neurodegenerative disease characterized by the progressive degeneration of motor neurons, leading to muscle dysfunction, paralysis, and eventually death. These diseases are classified as ALS variations because autopsies reveal abnormalities in both upper and lower motor neurons. These disorders account for only 10% of all adult-onset motor neuron disease cases. Despite extensive research efforts, effective therapeutic interventions for ALS remain limited. Structure-based pharmacophore modeling …

Review on Functional and Histological Effect of Lead on the Central Nervous System
Abstract: Environmental and occupational exposure to a large number of chemicals occurs at various stages throughout human life. The nervous system is the organ that appears to be the most sensitive and chief target for lead-induced toxicity in comparison to other organs. Lead is also found in lead-glazed ceramics, and food is eaten or stored in containers painted with lead-based paint or lead-containing glaze may contain significant amounts of lead. Lead …
