Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a neurodegenerative disease that specifically targets and destroys the myelin sheaths surrounding neurons in the CNS, leading to various symptoms such as muscle weakness, cognitive impairment, and vision problems. ALS, AD, and PD are neurodegenerative diseases that affect different types of neurons or brain regions, and do not involve the destruction of myelin specifically.
