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.

The understanding of the spatial relationship of different motor neuron pools targeting specific muscles is useful not only for the diagnosis of limb dysfunction caused by motor neuron impairment but ...

New research from the MIROCALS (Modifying Immune Responses and Outcomes in ALS) clinical trial has found that low-dose interleukin-2 (IL2 LD) is both safe and effective for use on people with Motor ...

For the first time ever, doctors have treated a rare genetic disease known as spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) in the womb – and the now 2-year-old child is showing no signs of the disease.

It’s a common experience, says Cave, who has helped 50 people with motor neuron diseases bank their voices. “When I first started at the MND Association [around seven years ago], people had to ...

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.

Motor neurone disease, which affects over 5,000 people in the UK at any given time, is characterised by progressive muscle atrophy.
