Motor neuron disease, also called amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), is a progressive neurological disorder that affects the nerve cells present in the brain and spinal cord, resulting in muscle control loss. This disease usually starts as muscle twitching, limb weakness, and slurred speech. There is no cure for ALS, and in advanced stages, it can result in the loss of control of muscles needed to breathe, speak, move, and swallow.
Some Common Motor Neuron Diseases
MNDs are neurological disorders affecting motor neurons that control muscle activity, leading to weakness, atrophy, and paralysis.
Riboflavin Transporter Deficiency- Symptoms, Diagnosis, and Management
Riboflavin transporter deficiency is a rare neurologic disorder characterized by progressive peripheral and cranial neuropathies.
Primary Lateral Sclerosis - Causes and Treatment
Primary lateral sclerosis belongs to a rare group of motor neuron disorders characterized by slowly progressing weakness along the upper motor neurons.
