Our bodies’ nerve cells are important for transmitting electrical and chemical information between different parts of the brain and between the brain and other parts of the nervous system. One of the ...
ALS progressively destroys the motor neurons that control voluntary muscles. Upper motor neurons, located in the brain, send messages to lower motor neurons in the spinal cord and from there to ...
Scientists have identified the first compound that eliminates the ongoing degeneration of upper motor neurons that become diseased and are a key contributor to ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis), a ...
Primary lateral sclerosis (PLS) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) are neurodegenerative diseases. PLS typically develops slowly, while ALS rapidly affects mobility and can become fatal.
Primary lateral sclerosis (PLS) is a rare neurological disorder that affects the motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord, which control movement. It is a form of motor neuron disease (MND). PLS ...
Northwestern University scientists have identified the first compound that eliminates the ongoing degeneration of upper motor neurons that become diseased and are a key contributor to ALS (amyotrophic ...
New preclinical research on the experimental drug, NU-9, to treat ALS shows it is more effective than existing FDA-approved drugs for the disease. More importantly, NU-9 has an enhanced effect when ...
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 ...
