Neurodegeneration
Explanation:
The term neurodegeneration refers to a group of disorders which are characterized by a progressive waste of function or structure of neurons, that in worst cases can include death of neaurons.
Many neurodegenerative disorders such as Parkinson's disease,– including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, Huntington's disease and Alzheimer's disease can occur due to neurodegeneration.
Neurodegeneration can manifest itself in various forms such as lack of physical and intellectual abilities like inability to use muscles or memory loss. These disorders cannot be completely cured and ultimately lead to the death of neurons.
