Neuroinflammatory Diseases

Neuroinflammatory diseases are conditions where the immune system mistakenly triggers inflammation in the brain and nervous system. This inflammation can damage nerve cells and disrupt communication within the brain, leading to various neurological symptoms. Common examples include multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer's disease, and Parkinson's disease. The causes can be complex, involving genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors. While inflammation is a natural response to injury or infection, in these diseases, it becomes chronic and harmful, contributing to cognitive decline, motor dysfunction, and other neurological issues. Understanding and managing neuroinflammation is important for improving health outcomes.
