In the same way that cancer patients do not need to identify the particular type of cancer that they are suffering from, for the public to `understand' their situation, there is perhaps a need for a generic name for all neurodegenerative diseases - `neurosy' has been suggested, but any short medically acceptable name with which the public could relate would be enormously helpful in engendering greater awareness and understanding by the general public of these often devastating diseases of the brain.
