neurological degeneration

Neurological degeneration refers to the progressive loss or damage of nerve cells (neurons) in the brain and nervous system. This deterioration can disrupt normal brain functions, leading to symptoms like memory loss, movement difficulties, or changes in behavior. Conditions such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and multiple sclerosis are examples of neurological degenerative disorders. These processes often involve the buildup of abnormal proteins, inflammation, or cell death, and tend to worsen over time. While the exact causes vary, ongoing research aims to better understand these mechanisms and develop treatments to slow or halt progression.
