Abstract
The Twentieth Century witnessed tremendous advances in our understanding of neurodegenerative diseases. Not least among them were the contributions from hyperendemic foci of neurodegenerative disorders in isolated human groups worldwide, with the knowledge gained applicable to our understanding of related neurodegenerative diseases globally.

Current updates on the Role of Neuroinflammation in Neurodegenerative Disorders
Neuroinflammation is an invariable hallmark of chronic and acute neurodegenerative disorders and has long been considered a potential drug target for Alzheimer?s disease (AD) and dementia. Significant evidence of inflammatory processes as a feature of AD is provided by the presence of inflammatory markers in plasma, CSF and postmortem brain ...read more
