The brain plays a major role in the central nervous system (CNS) and an important organ of the body that controls the functions of all other organs with the aid of neurons through signal transmission, whereas, in neurodegeneration, the functions of these neurons are impaired or altered (Ortman, Velkoff, & Hogan, 2014). Neurodegeneration is a process that refers to any pathology that mainly affects the neurons gradually. This condition alters the structure and function of neurons which leads to increased neuronal death, poor decision making, loss
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
