Neurological diseases are generally considered under the umbrella of diseases of [[vata]] [[dosha]] (vata vyadhi). However, diseases of [[Vata]] does not limit to neurological disorders. Similarly, certain neuropathological conditions are beyond the limits of pure [[vata]] disorders.

[[Vata]] is an essential factor for the sustenance of life and cognitive functions. [Cha. Sa. [[Sutra Sthana ] 25/40]. [[Vata]] is responsible for all activities in living beings, and its derangement can result in many diseases and even fatality. [Cha. Sa. [[Sutra Sthana]] 17/ 118]

All voluntary and involuntary body movements, including natural physiological impulses (somatic & psychosomatic), are executed by neural pathways. These activities with cranial nerve impulses are outcomes of activities of [[vata]]. Respiratory functions, cardiac and circulatory activities are invariably done by [[vata]]. All somatic systems and their regulatory functions and integration are governed or maintained by [[vata]].[ Cha. Sa. [[Sutra Sthana]] 12/ 8] It also controls and regulates the activities of the mind ([[manas]]). [ Cha. Sa. [[Sutra Sthana]] 12/ 8] The perception, cognition, and thought process is under the control of [[vata]].

So, the vegetative nervous system, central nervous system or higher nervous system, brain-behavior, and mental functions are all governed by [[vata]] itself.

The physiology of [[vata]] cannot be limited to neurophysiology. Instead, it can be extended to molecular biology in addition to the neuronal or cellular functions.
