Scientists have studied how proteins accumulate in the wrong parts of brain cells in motor neurone disease, and have demonstrated how it might be possible, in some cases, to reverse this.

Motor neurons are cells in your brain and spinal cord that help you walk, talk, and eat. Learn how damage to these cells could affect your movement and what your doctor can do to treat it.

The lower motor neuron starts in the spinal cord and ends in the muscles. Now researchers from Melbourne are working to develop a potential treatment to slow the progression of MND, by taking the ...

"If we can block that, we can block the neuron death that occurs," she said. More information: Developmental Cell (2018). DOI: 10.1016/j.devcel.2018.07.001 ...

ALS affects the brain, as well as various other parts of the body. Doctors classify it as motor neuron disease (MND), a group of progressive neurological disorders.

Motor neuron disease (MND) is a devastating condition which causes progressive paralysis, increasing physical disability and ultimately death within an average of two to three years.

Motor neuron disease affects 5,000 adults in the U.K. at any one time and there is a 1 in 300 risk of getting MND across a lifetime. Once the disease progresses, it leads to the death of the motor ...

Motor neuron disease (MND) is a devastating condition that causes progressive muscle weakness by damaging the motor neurons, the nerve cells that connect the brain to muscles.

Certain parts of Australia have unusually high rates of motor neuron disease. People with MND are progressively paralyzed and typically die 2-4 years after diagnosis. Multiple factors cause the ...
