Neurodegenerative disease

A condition when the central nervous system's cells degenerate or stop functioning. In most cases, there is no therapy for neurodegenerative diseases, which often worsen with time. They could develop due to a tumour or stroke, or they might be inherited. Glaucoma, which has a neurodegenerative illness of both the eye and the brain, is characterised by progressive optic nerve degeneration.
