neuropathological classification

Neuropathological classification is a system used by scientists and doctors to categorize brain diseases based on their underlying physical features, such as changes in brain tissue, presence of abnormal proteins, or cell damage. This helps in diagnosing exactly what type of disease someone has, like Alzheimer's or Parkinson's, by examining brain tissues often after death. Classifying diseases this way improves understanding, guides treatment strategies, and advances research into causes and potential cures, ensuring that diagnoses are based on specific biological changes rather than just symptoms alone.
