Neurodegeneration
Neurodegeneration: The continuous loss of neuronal structure or function of neurons, including death of neurons. This loss can ultimately lead to cognitive disability and dementia. Usally, neurodegeneration is linked to a disease such as Parkinson's disease, Alzheimer's disease, and Huntington's disease.
