Amongst the Neurodegenerative disorders, Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s are the most common, they lead to progressive breakdown of the brain, nerves, and spinal cord leading to a deteriorating nervous system and poor cognitive and motor abilities.

• Alzheimer’s Disease:
  – Poor cognitive functions result in memory loss, less attention span, and imbalanced reasoning.
  – Amyloid plaques and tau tangles progressively build up in the brain leading to lost signal between neuron and brain commands.
  – Diagnosis is done through cognitive tests and other methods depending on the complexity of the disease.
• Parkinson’s Disease:
  – Parkinson’s Disease is a progressive brain disorder that leads to the deterioration of the nervous system by damaging several nerve connections.
  – It results in poor motor functions and symptoms like shaking unintended and uncontrollable movements, and difficulty with balance and coordination.
  – Severe symptoms involve difficulty walking, talking, and chewing food.
