If you have upper motor neuron lesions, you have damage to certain nerve cells that help you move. Medicines and therapy can help control symptoms like muscle spasms and help you walk and talk more ...

Motor neuron diseases, such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP), share physical similarities but have been largely viewed as genetically distinct. However, ...

A drug typically used to treat enlarged prostates and high blood pressure has shown promise as a potential new therapy for motor neuron disease (MND) -- also known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis ...

A drug typically used to treat enlarged prostates and high blood pressure has shown promise as a potential new therapy for motor neuron disease (MND), according to a new study. MND is a group of rare ...

The test was developed by researchers at the US-based not-for-profit Brain Chemistry Labs, who analysed 788 blood samples – roughly half from patients with the disease and half from people without it.

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a degenerative neurological disorder that involves the death of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. This, over time, leads to the brain losing its ability ...

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), commonly known as Lou Gehrig’s disease, is a rare yet devastating neurological disorder that progressively weakens the body’s voluntary muscles. It occurs when ...

Brains are the most complex systems in the universe, but their basic building blocks are surprisingly simple — the complexity arises from billions of neurons, axons and synapses working together.
