What is corticobasal degeneration?
Corticobasal degeneration is a slow nerve cell loss combined with wasting away of multiple areas of the brain including the cerebral cortex and the basal ganglia. Symptoms are similar to Parkinson's disease, such as poor coordination, slow rigid movements, muscular jerks, and difficulty swallowing.
