Brain Regions Affected by Disease: Cortex & Basal Ganglia

The two regions of the brain that are impacted by disease are the:

- The cerebral cortex: The cerebral cortex is the outermost layer of the brain, and it is responsible for a wide range of functions, including cognition, memory, language, and movement. Damage to the cerebral cortex can result in a variety of neurological disorders, including Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, and stroke.

- The basal ganglia: The basal ganglia are a group of structures located deep within the brain, and they are involved in the control of movement. Damage to the basal ganglia can result in a variety of movement disorders, including Huntington's disease, Parkinson's disease, and dystonia.
