Neurodegenerative Diseases and Stress
Neurodegenerative diseases are a group of disorders characterized by the progressive degeneration or death of nerve cells (neurons) in the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) or the peripheral nervous system. Stress is a physiological and psychological response to challenging or threatening situations. The trends in neurodegenerative diseases and stress research involve a deeper understanding of the underlying mechanisms, genetic factors, and lifestyle influences, as well as the development of novel therapeutic approaches and stress management strategies to improve the overall well-being of individuals at risk for or affected by these conditions. These sessions aim to facilitate collaboration, knowledge sharing, and the development of effective strategies for both preventing and managing neurodegenerative diseases and stress-related conditions.
