Neurodegenerative Diseases

"By the year 2040 neurodegenerative diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, ALS and similar disorders, will overtake cancer as the second most common cause of death (1). What this means, from a practical standpoint, is that one in three of us will get a neurodegenerative disease."
