Neurodegenerative Conditions

Meaning

Neurodegenerative Conditions are a heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by the progressive loss of structure or function of neurons, including neuronal death, typically leading to debilitating and irreversible decline in neurological function. These conditions, such as Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease, often involve protein aggregation, oxidative stress, and chronic inflammation within the central nervous system. Hormonal fluctuations and imbalances are increasingly recognized as contributing or protective factors in the pathogenesis of these disorders.
