Huntington’s chorea‚ or more commonly known as Huntington’s disease (HD)‚ is a neurodegenerative disorder that affects both men and women. Although previously thought to be a relatively rare disease‚ new research discoveries show that it’s actually more common than not; while the onset of symptoms typically occurs in a person’s 40s and 50s‚ research has also shown that individuals in their 70s‚ 80s and even 90s have enough repeats in the HTT gene to develop mild HD symptoms.

with atrophy of the affected areas of central or peripheral nervous system. It is the basic term used for the gradual loss of normal functioning of neurons‚ including results in death of neurons. These diseases are incurable‚ which leads to neurodegeneration or death of neuron cells. Degenerative nerve diseases decreases many of the body’s activities‚ such as movement‚ breathing‚ and heart function‚ balance‚ talking. These diseases are usually genetic. Some of the medical condition such as alcoholism

In recent years‚ the study of the mechanisms affecting and causing Alzheimer’s disease has been closely studied. Alzheimer’s disease is the main cause of dementia in that it causes rapid atrophy of the outer cortex of the hippocampus in the brain. As a result‚ this cell degeneration ultimately gives rise to the array of cognitive impairments‚ including memory loss‚ confusion‚ irritability‚ loss of stream of consciousness‚ and depression. Cranial nerve one (CN I)‚ serves as the olfactory nerve where

Before you read this one thing you should know is that although running can be very beneficial to the human body‚ not everyone is built the same‚ thus‚ not everyone is made to run. With that said‚ running is a part of many people’s daily lives and most of these people have learned how far they can push themselves without causing too much strain on their bodies. Running is also a way that people find self-achievement and purpose and without it don’t know how to function in their lives‚ these people

Mitochondria are one of the most abundant organelles‚ which exercise various essential roles and function to all living things. Often time‚ this tremendous organelle is referred to as the powerhouse of the cell‚ due to their essential function in production of energy. The production of ATP‚ and regulation of intracellular calcium levels is also of great importance in the survival of neurons‚ which are cells in the brain‚ that make part of the Central Nervous System (CNS). Perpetual oxidative stress

Harvey et al.‚ (1999) and Fucetola et al.‚ (2000) add to this debate in suggesting that schizophrenia is not just simply a classic neurodegenerative disorder although there is some evidence that some neurodegeneration may contribute to the pathogenesis of schizophrenia (Woods‚ 1998; Lieberman‚

Parkinson’s or PD is a disease that attacks the peripheral nervous system around the age of 50 years old. This devastating disease causes the degeneration of the mind and gets worse with time. It is categorized by the loss of basic mobility‚ making daily life a real challenge. It causes most motor skills to go away entirely and leaves a person with a resting tremor‚ akineisa‚ and muscle stiffness. Parkinson’s is incurable but treatment is available to subdue symptoms. It is genetic and may be caused
