NEURODEGENERATION PROCESSES GO FAR BEYOND NECROSIS AND APOPTOSIS!

Neural plasticity is a consequence of a delicate balance between the processes of neurodegeneration and neurogenesis. When neurodegeneration overcomes neurogenesis, neurodegenerative diseases occur, which affect cognitive functions such as memory, language, and executive functions. Neurodegeneration, the process of neuronal cell death, presents several aspects that were categorized according to their macroscopic and/or morphological...
