Neurodegenerative diseases occur when nerve cells in the brain or peripheral nervous system lose function over time and ultimately die. - National Institute of Environmental Health Science

These diseases range from Alzheimer's disease, multiple sclerosis (MS), dementia, and many more.

Dr. Barbera has battled MS himself. This is the main reason why he had to give up his practice. According to his LinkedIn profile, Dr. Barbera launched Table Tennis Connections in September 2021.
