INTRODUCTION The term neuro - referring the cells of brain /neurons, Degeneration- deterioration and loss of function in the cells of a tissue or organ. These disorders are an umbrella term for a spectrum of diseases that can cause symptoms ranging from mood disturbances to dementia, involuntary movements, and cognitive decline that affect daily life. The lack of clear criteria for defining neurodegenerative disorders means that there is a wide variety of etiologies and pathophysiology to understand the clinical, pathological, molecular pathways, and therapeutic targets in management. This creates a broad scope for future research and treatment advancements. This can make it challenging to diagnose and treat these diseases effectively.
