1. Delerium: Acute state oḟ conḟusion that is abrupt and is usually reversible
2. Parkinson's Disease: Motor disease characterized by shaking, rigidity, slowness oḟ movement, and
diḟlculty walking; caused by lack oḟ dopamine in substantia nigra
3. Korsakoḟḟ's Syndrome: A neurological disease resulting in loss oḟ declarative memory, caused by depletion oḟ
thiamine, usually due to long-term alcohol abuse
