    Brain Conditions

     Parkinson's disease: Nerves in a central area of the brain degenerate


    slowly, causing problems with movement and coordination. A
    tremor of the hands is a common early sign.
     Huntington's disease: An inherited nerve disorder that affects the
    brain. Dementia and difficulty controlling movements (chorea) are its
    symptoms.
     Epilepsy: The tendency to have seizures. Head injuries and strokes
    may cause epilepsy, but usually no cause is identified.
     Dementia: A decline in cognitive function resulting from death or
    malfunction of nerve cells in the brain. Conditions in which nerves in
    the brain degenerate, as well as alcohol abuse and strokes, can cause
    dementia.
     Alzheimer’s disease: For unclear reasons, nerves in certain brain
    areas degenerate, causing progressive dementia. Alzheimer’s disease
    is the most common form of dementia.
     Brain abscess: A pocket of infection in the brain, usually by bacteria.
    Antibiotics and surgical drainage of the area are often necessary.
