Neurodegenerative Disorders are a group of chronic and progressive neurological conditions characterized by the gradual degeneration and loss of nerve cells (neurons) in the brain and spinal cord. As these neurons deteriorate, the ability of the nervous system to control movement, memory, thinking, behavior, and bodily functions becomes increasingly impaired.
These disorders usually develop slowly over time and tend to worsen progressively, often leading to long-term disability. Neurodegenerative disorders can affect children or adults, though many commonly appear in later adulthood. The exact cause may involve genetic factors, abnormal protein accumulation, aging, environmental influences, or metabolic changes.
