Neurodegenerative disorders are conditions that involve the progressive loss of structure or function of neurons, the cells responsible for transmitting signals in the brain and nervous system. Common neurodegenerative disorders include Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). These disorders often lead to symptoms like memory loss, cognitive decline, movement difficulties, and changes in behaviour or personality. While there is no cure, early diagnosis and treatment can help manage symptoms, slow progression, and improve the quality of life. Approaches may include medication, physical therapy, and supportive care.
