Experimental Models in Neurodegenerative Diseases
Journal Title: Nükleer Tıp Seminerleri - Year 2019, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Neurodegenerative diseases (NDDs) are a group of diseases characterized by progressive loss and structural deterioration of neuron functions. The rise in the average life expectancy has led to an increase in the number of patients with NDD and these diseases to become a social problem. The aim of this paper is to review the most common NDDs (Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson disease, Huntington disease, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) and to examine the experimental models in order to investigate the pathogenesis, diagnosis, and treatment options of NDDs and to provide an overview of the reader.
