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. These neurons allow ...

My interest in motor neuron disease was sparked by Jørgen, who has been researching and developing treatments for neurodegenerative patients, including those with MND for over a decade.

FightMND. Not-for-profit charity FightMND, to raise awareness of motor neuron disease (MND), has released a digital beanie in a fundraising campaign for Big Freeze 11 via creative agency SLIK.

Lower motor neurons: Found in the spinal cord, they relay messages from the brain to the muscles.When affected by a motor neuron disease, these nerve cells begin to die, disrupting the brain’s ...

Motor neuron disease usually refers to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, but it can also refer to other kind of neurodegenerative disease that affect the motor neurons, such as progressive primary ...

Scientists say a test for motor neuron disease, based on an aptamer for biomarker TDP-43 in brain tissue, could detect at-risk people before symptoms develop.

Motor control refers to the process by which the nervous system coordinates the muscle and limbs to achieve a desired movement or set of actions. This includes the ability to anticipate, adjust ...

Multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN) is a rare disease that causes slowly worsening muscle weakness, mainly in your hands, arms, and legs. It affects your body's motor nerves, which control your 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 ...

Namma clinics to enhance support for rare disease patients This announcement was made at a workshop held in the city on the occasion of Global Motor Neuron Disease (MND) Awareness Day.
