The common name for kuru is "laughing sickness." It is a rare and fatal neurodegenerative disorder associated with prion infection, primarily found among the Fore people of Papua New Guinea. Kuru is characterized by neurological symptoms, including tremors and loss of coordination, and was historically transmitted through the practice of cannibalism.
