NDD (Neurodegenerative Diseases)

Neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs) are conditions where nerve cells in the brain and nervous system gradually deteriorate and die. This process leads to a decline in cognitive, motor, or sensory functions over time. Common examples include Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, and Huntington’s disease. The exact causes vary but often involve genetic, environmental, and age-related factors. These diseases are typically progressive, meaning symptoms worsen over time, and currently, there are no cures, only treatments to manage symptoms and improve quality of life. Research continues to seek understanding and potential preventive measures.
