Neurodegeneration is progressive loss of structure or function of neurons, including death of neurons. Neurons (ˈnjuːɹɒn also known as neurones and nerve cells) are responsive cells in the Nervous system that process and transmit information

Neurodegenerative diseases are the subset of neurological disorders that include neuron pathologies, but which exclude diseases of the nervous system due to cancer, edema, hemorrhage, trauma, poisoning, hypoxia, etc. Neurodegenerative Disease ( Greek νέυρο- néuro-, "nerval" and Latin dēgenerāre, "to decline" or "to Pathology (from Greek grc πάθος pathos, "fate harm" and grc -λογία -logia) is the study and The nervous system is a Network of specialized cells that communicate information about an animal's surroundings and itself Cancer (medical term Malignant Neoplasm) is a class of Diseases in which a group of cells display uncontrolled Oedema (or Edema in American English formerly known as dropsy or hydropsy, is the increase of Interstitial fluid in any organ &mdash swelling Bleeding, technically known as hemorrhaging / haemorrhaging (see American and British spelling differences) is the loss of Blood from Treatment of physical trauma is described here and in First aid.

Diseases involving neurodegeneration include Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, Huntington's disease and Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. Alzheimer's disease ( AD) also called Alzheimer disease or simply Alzheimer's, is the most common form of Dementia. Parkinson's disease (also known as Parkinson disease or PD) is a degenerative disorder of the Central nervous system that often impairs the sufferer's Huntington's disease, also called Huntington's chorea, chorea major, or HD, is a genetic neurological disorder characterized after Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis ( ALS, sometimes called Maladie de Charcot, or in the United States Lou Gehrig's Disease) is a progressive The most consistent risk factor for developing neurodegenerative disease is aging.
