Mad cow disease is a neurological disease in which certain abnormal proteins known as prions induce the formation of lesions/plaques in the brain tissue of the infected animal.

Prion disease is also known transmissible spongiform encephalopathy is characterized by rare progressive neurodegenerative disorders of brain.
