Computational Approaches to Neurological Disorder Diagnosis: An In-Depth Review of Current Methods and Future Prospects.

The rapid advancement of computational technologies has significantly transformed medical diagnostics, particularly in the realm of neurological disorders. This review provides a comprehensive analysis of the current computational approaches employed for the diagnosis of five major neurological disorders: Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Epilepsy, Huntington's disease, and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. By evaluating 140 peer-reviewed studies, we explored a diverse array of diagnostic methods, including machine learning algorithms, neuroimaging techniques, and electrophysiological signal analysis. Our review highlights the efficacy, accuracy, and limitations of these diagnostic methods, emphasizing their role in early detection and differential diagnosis. Furthermore, we discuss the integration of multimodal data and the potential of emerging technologies such as deep learning and artificial intelligence to enhance diagnostic practices. We also address the current challenges in clinical implementation and propose future research directions to improve diagnostic precision and patient outcomes. This review aims to serve as a valuable resource for researchers, clinicians, and stakeholders in the field of neurodiagnostics, fostering a deeper understanding of computational methodologies that shape the future of neurological disorder diagnosis.
