Parts of the nervous system, particularly the brain, can be gradually damaged and destroyed by a group of illnesses known as neurodegenerative diseases. Degeneration of nerve cells brought on by these illnesses impairs movement, cognition, and other body processes. Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, ALS, and multiple sclerosis are well-known instances. Current research attempts to identify treatments that can delay the progression of these diseases and improve the quality of life for individuals who are afflicted, despite the fact that there is currently no cure.
