Neurodegenerative Diseases

As a result of neurodegenerative disorders, certain parts of the brain die. As a result, they are some of the most difficult diseases to treat and can have debilitating effects. Among the most common movement disorders, Parkinson's disease and Huntington's disease are among the most severe. A neurodegenerative disease is a group of chronic, debilitating conditions characterized by the progressive degeneration and death of nerve cells.
