KembaraXtra-Psychology – BSE (Bovine Spongiform Encephalopathy)
BSE, commonly known as mad cow disease, is a progressive and fatal neurodegenerative disorder affecting cattle. It is widely believed to be caused by prions—misfolded proteins that induce abnormal folding in normal brain proteins. In humans, exposure has been linked to variant Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease. The condition highlights the vulnerability of neural tissue to protein misfolding disorders.
