Dementia in creutzfeldt-jakob disease - what does this mean
Dementia in creutzfeldt-jakob disease is caused by the accumulation of abnormal proteins in the brain, known as prions, which damage and destroy nerve cells. this leads to a rapid decline in mental function, including memory, language, judgment, and behavior.
What happens during the disease - dementia in creutzfeldt-jakob disease
Creutzfeldt-jakob disease (cjd) is a rare, progressive neurological disorder caused by an abnormal form of a protein called a prion. prions are found in the brain and can cause dementia by clumping together and forming plaques, which can lead to inflammation and damage to brain cells, resulting in the death of neurons and the loss of cognitive function. in addition, prions can also cause the formation of small holes in the brain, a condition known as vacuolation, which can further contribute to the development of dementia.
