Neurodegeneration
Neurodegeneration refers to the gradual damage of the structure or function of neurons in the central nervous system (CNS), resulting in their degeneration. These diseases, including Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, Huntington, and ALS, are marked by a progressive decline in motor and cognitive abilities, which have been brought into contact with genetic, physical and environmental factors such as head trauma or toxins. Symptoms usually include memory, spatial orientation, understanding of language, decision making and difficulties in advanced stages, which can impair writing, speaking and walking. While currently no treatment exists, the purpose of the treatments is to manage symptoms and progression of slow illness. Ongoing research into the underlying mechanisms of Neurodegeneration promises to develop future preventive and medical strategies.
