Title: Electrophysiological Changes Observed in Neurodegenerative Diseases and Their Progressive Effects

🔍 Overview of the Research Question

This research explores how electrophysiological changes—measurable electrical activity in the nervous system—manifest in various neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson’s disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and multiple sclerosis (MS). The goal is to identify how these electrical changes (e.g., EEG abnormalities, nerve conduction disruptions) correlate with disease progression, symptom development, and potential diagnostic or therapeutic implications.
