Neuronal Loss

Neuronal loss refers to the degeneration or death of neurons, which are the cells in the brain and nervous system that transmit information. This loss can occur due to various factors, including aging, disease (like Alzheimer's or Parkinson's), injury, or environmental influences. When neurons die, it can lead to impaired cognitive functions, memory loss, or motor difficulties, depending on the areas of the brain affected. Understanding neuronal loss is crucial for developing treatments for neurodegenerative diseases and improving brain health throughout life.
