A brain tumor can disrupt normal brain function by exerting pressure on surrounding brain tissue, which may impair neurological processes like motor skills, sensory perception, and cognitive functions. It can also interfere with the communication pathways within the nervous system, potentially leading to symptoms such as headaches, seizures, and changes in mood or personality. Additionally, tumors can affect the flow of cerebrospinal fluid, resulting in increased intracranial pressure and further neurological complications. Overall, the impact on the nervous system varies depending on the tumor's size, location, and type.
