-page-00001.jpg)
Corticobasal degeneration (CBD) belongs to the category of frontotemporal degeneration, a type of dementia characterized by the progressive impairment of cognitive functions, including thinking, memory, and reasoning, to the extent that it hampers an individual's daily life and activities. The impact of CBD encompasses various domains such as Movement, Balance, Coordination, Memory, Vision, Speech, swallowing, and other bodily functions. Predominantly affecting the cerebral cortex (the brain's outer layer) and the basal ganglia (deep brain structures involved in movement control), CBD leads to a worsening condition marked by neuronal demise and the shrinking (atrophy) of multiple brain regions. The root cause of CBD remains unidentified. It propels an abnormal process of brain aging that unfolds gradually. In contrast, healthy individuals possess a brain protein called tau, vital for regular neuron function; those with CBD experience an anomalous buildup of tau protein that h...
