What are neurodegenerative diseases?

Описание: Welcome to NeuroNotes! A podcast hosted by Kenzo and Sam, two neurological physiotherapists and the brains behind PhysiKits.

Our mission is to make high-quality neurological rehabilitation and science information understandable and accessible to all those driven to learn more about their neurological condition - from brain injuries and stroke, to neurodegenerative conditions like multiple sclerosis and Parkinson's disease.

Today we tackle the second half of brain injuries - neurodegenerative diseases. This includes Alzheimer's, Huntington's, ALS, and more. We discuss the different kinds of neurodegenerative disease processes, our best understanding of their causes, and how they affect the nervous system different to create different symptoms.

New episodes coming weekly, so stay-tuned!
