Neurodegenerative Conditions

Neurodegenerative conditions are a group of diseases that affect the nervous system, leading to problems with movement, coordination, strength, sensation, and thinking. Common examples include Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and Huntington's disease. These conditions are caused by the gradual loss of specific groups of nerve cells and there are currently no cures, but treatments are available to help manage symptoms.
