Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Parkinson's disease is associated with a loss of dopamine-producing cells in the brain, specifically in the substantia nigra region. Epilepsy is a seizure disorder, Alzheimer's disease is associated with a buildup of beta-amyloid plaques and tau proteins in the brain, meningitis is an infection of the meninges (the protective covering of the brain and spinal cord), and multiple sclerosis is a degenerative disease that affects the myelin sheath surrounding nerve fibers in the brain and spinal cord.
