yeah its called neuro-degeneration, like alzehimers and parkinsons.

 Strangely enough you failed to understand this basic
train of ideas.
 There is hardware and software in computers.
 Then there are brains in the bodies of many
animals.  Many people however confuse the
term mind with brain.  It is not obvious
how many people regularly confuse the terms
hardware and software or seem totally without
comprehension of how the two might be different
or similar when it comes to hardware and software
in computers.

You response has the look and feel of you being
unable to comprehend that mind and brain could
have two different meanings.
 Do you understand the terms 'hardware' and
'software' with computers?  Do you think they
could potentially have different meanings from
each other in some circumstances?
 

so far, we have not been able to separate the brain from the mind, i understand that what we perceive as the mind is an emergent property of the underlying structure, but so far, our knowledge is limited enough, that we cannot separate the brain from the mind, except as abstract thought experiments.
