Neurodegenerative diseases, or neurodegenerative diseases, are diseases in which the loss of neurons or myelin sheaths of neurons leads to dysfunction that progressively worsens over time.
Medical neurodegenerative diseases include Parkinson’s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Alzheimer’s disease, Huntington’s chorea, age-related macular degeneration, and other diseases. Neurodegenerative diseases are characterized by synapse loss and neuronal death, leading to cognitive decline, dementia, and loss of motor function.
Due to the irreversible pathologic changes in the pathogenesis of these diseases and the fact that cognitive impairment is detected when the disease is already in the middle to late stages, even with treatment it can only slow down the progression of the disease and not treat the root cause of neuronal damage.
The disease should be diagnosed and treated early.
