Neurodegenerative conditions, also known as degenerative neurological disorders, refer to a diffuse set of disorders that cause a progressive decline in cognitive and motor functions. The most common of these include Parkinson’s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Alzheimer’s disease, Huntington’s disease, and multiple sclerosis, but there are numerous other less common forms of neurodegenerative disease. Neurodegenerative conditions are typically caused by a gradual and accumulative damage to the brain cells. Over time, these cells can become too damaged to perform their normal functions and eventually die off. This can result in a loss of crucial motor and cognitive functioning, causing symptoms such as impaired speech, difficulty walking, impaired memory, and personality changes. Underlying biological mechanisms of neurodegenerative conditions are complex and largely unknown. They involve a combination of genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors that can cause the disease to progress. In many cases, the cause of neurodegenerative diseases is still a mystery. Treatment for these conditions is based on managing and alleviating symptoms rather than curing the disease. The treatment typically involves a combination of medications, physical and occupational therapy, and lifestyle modification.
