👉 Neuritides are a type of neurodegenerative disorder that affects nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. They occur due to damage or abnormal regulation of neurotransmitters, which can lead to changes in behavior, mood, and cognitive function. The specific types of neurons affected by neuritides vary depending on the condition, but they often involve the nervous system's primary sensory neurons (neurons that transmit nerve impulses) as well as motor neurons responsible for transmitting signals from the body's muscles
