A few children have normal intelligence, in which case the main symptom is severe motor function impairment presenting in childhood. [wilhelmfoundation.org]
This condition tends to present in one of two ways. Firstly, it may present as disordered behavior (usually either with disinhibited behavior or with apathy). [dartmouth.edu]
When dementia and depression are present together, intellectual deterioration may be exaggerated. Depression, whether present alone or in combination with dementia, can be reversed with proper treatment. [alzcare.org]
Treatment
These treatments may involve diet, special dietary supplements, pharmacological agents and transplants. [kennedykrieger.org]
Specifically, all patients remained free of major functional disabilities post-treatment with Lenti-D. [medpagetoday.com]
The studies covered a wide variety of licensed and unlicensed smoking cessation medications, comparing the treatments with placebo, and the three main treatments with each other. [jpost.com]
This discovery may uncover new treatments for millions of people suffering from degenerative brain conditions more widely. [monash.edu]
There’s no cure for neurodegenerative diseases, but treatment can still help. Treatment for these diseases tries to reduce symptoms and maintain quality of life. Treatment often involves the use of medications to control symptoms. [healthline.com]
Prognosis
As the population in the developed world continues to age, neuroimaging for diagnosis, prognosis, and therapy monitoring of neurodegenerative diseases becomes increasingly important and there has been a recent surge of clinical and pre-clinical applications [books.google.com]
This approach may provide increased accuracy for clinicians when discussing a patient’s prognosis; thereby assisting affected individuals in making important decisions for their future,” Dr Philpott said. [monash.edu]
Affected individuals should talk to their physician and medical team about their specific case, associated symptoms and overall prognosis. [rarediseases.org]
The prognosis depends on the severity of the spasticity and the underlying disorder(s). TD is a muscle disorder that results from prolonged exposure to some types of antipsychotic and neuroleptic medications. [aans.org]
Etiology
Abstract Background Neurodegenerative diseases (ND) consist of divers affections of the central nervous system related to etiology, localization, and of course of the disease. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
However, we are still left with a large number of progressive diseases of unknown etiology, and their classification is based on pathologic and clinical findings. [dartmouth.edu]
Epidemiology
Methods Based on epidemiological data, the current neurological bibliography of ND has been considered. Additional ophthalmological data containing age-related retinal diseases were included in a comparative manner. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Migraines 28,000,000 American Headache Society: Epidemiology and Impact of Headache and Migraine (PDF) Multiple Sclerosis 350,000 National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke: Multiple Sclerosis: Hope Through Research Neurofibromatosis 100,000 [ohsu.edu]
Epidemiologic and a few prospective studies suggest that there may be some element of inflammation in the condition and some have suggested excess oxidation as a contributing factor. [dartmouth.edu]
Pathophysiology
Differential diagnosis of degenerative brain diseases Project Year: 2006 Usefulness of the clock reading test in the clinical settings Project Year: 2007 Association between ADL and cognitive functions in patients with Alzheimer's disease Project Year: 2006 Pathophysiologic [researchmap.jp]
More information about the gene products and understanding of pathophysiological mechanisms will open the way to specific treatments. The most common degenerative disease is Alzheimer's disease and the second most frequent is Parkinson's disease. [neuropathology-web.org]
As time passes, it is quite likely that the specific biochemical and pathophysiological processes underpinning many of these diseases will be elucidated and their classifications will change. [dartmouth.edu]
Prevention
In this paper, authors contended that Alzheimer prevention starts with marijuana. That’s right, the conclusion drawn is that chemical compounds in cannabis can be used to prevent the onset of the brain disease. [intellectualtakeout.org]
This could open the door to new ways of treating these devastating conditions that intervene early enough to prevent some of the most devastating effects or that even change the course of the disease. [valleysleepcenter.com]

Preventing iatrogenic CJD Hospitals and other medical institutions follow explicit policies to prevent iatrogenic CJD. [mayoclinic.org]
There is up till now no effective way to prevent Alzheimer's disease. However, multi-infarct dementia is caused by damaged blood vessels, and can be prevented through healthy living habits. [diagnose-me.com]
