Significance of Neurodegenerative disorder
Neurodegenerative disorder refers to a category of diseases marked by the progressive degeneration of the nervous system's structure and function. This group includes well-known conditions such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson’s disease, which lead to cognitive decline and impaired motor functions. These disorders are associated with various factors like oxidative stress, mitochondrial dysfunction, and changes in gut microbiota. They present significant challenges for clinicians due to the impact on memory, cognitive abilities, and overall quality of life.
