TL;DR: This chapter resumes some of the findings that provide evidence for the role of mitochondria in neurodegeneration associated with Parkinson's disease and Huntington’s disease, two Neurodegenerative disorders that cause movement disturbances.

TL;DR: Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disease characterized by the accumulation of alpha-synuclein (aSyn) in the nigrostriatal pathway that is followed by severe neuroinflammatory response as mentioned in this paper .

TL;DR: The relationship between subjective memory complaints and objective memory performance in patients with Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) was evaluated, in comparison with patients with Mild Cognitive Impairment due to Alzheimer's Disease (MCI-AD) and healthy controls (HC) as mentioned in this paper.

TL;DR: This chapter discusses the relevance of the interplay between mitochondria and innate immunity, focusing on mitochondrial damage-associated molecular patterns (DAMPs) and how they can activate innate immunity and elicit AD and PD neurodegenerative process.
