Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease (CJD) was first described in 1920 by two neurologists, Hans Gerhard Creutzfeldt and Alfons Maria Jakob. They identified the disease as a rare and fatal neurodegenerative disorder characterized by rapidly progressive dementia and other neurological symptoms. Their work laid the foundation for understanding prion diseases, which are caused by misfolded proteins.
