neurotoxicity

Toxicity that causes injury to the central or peripheral nervous system or damages its function. This can include stroke, multiple sclerosis, encephalopathy, dementia, Alzheimer's disease, amnesia, dyskinesia, Parkinson's disease, tremor, convulsions and Guillain Barre syndrome.

What it is

There are more than 600 neurologic diseases. Major types include:

Diseases caused by faulty genes, such as Huntington's disease and muscular dystrophy

Problems with the way the nervous system develops, such as spina bifida

From MedlinePlus: Neurologic Diseases (US National Library of Medicine) ↗

🔬 Every other disease: Most diseases come from a mix of the genes we inherit, the environment and way we live, and the passing of time.

❓ Why it happens

  • Genes can make a person more or less likely to get a disease.
  • Environment and lifestyle - infections, diet, smoking, pollution, activity - push the risk up or down.
  • Errors build up in the body over the years, which is why many diseases are more common with age.

🫀 What it does to the body

  • Each disease affects the body in its own way; the summary above explains this one.

🧱 Why it is hard to cure

  • The biology is often only partly understood.
  • A medicine has to be both effective and safe, and proving that in clinical trials takes years.

🚀 What research is trying now

  • Studying which genes are linked to the disease - AI Cure shows them below, ranked by evidence.
  • Testing whether medicines approved for other diseases could help.

General information about every other disease, reviewed by people; it does not describe any one person. Below: the evidence for neurotoxicity itself.
