Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease is caused by a prion and results in reduced brain function.

Answer: D
 Huntington disease is a genetic disorder that leads to progressive degeneration of neurons in certain areas of the brain, resulting in reduced brain function and movement disorders.

Note: Alzheimer disease is a neurodegenerative disease, but it is not caused by a prion. Cerebrovascular accident (stroke), epilepsy, spastic paralysis, hemiplegia, and paraplegia all involve neurological dysfunction, but they are not associated with prion diseases.
