Background New criteria for the neurophysiological diagnosis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis/motor neuron disease (ALS/MND) were recently proposed at an international symposium in Awaji-shima, Japan.

The cerebrum, especially the cerebral cortex, has long been thought to be the important part of our brain. However, the cerbrum contains less than 20 percent of the neurons in our brain. Eighty ...

You feel your body slowly shutting down—but your mind remains sharp, painfully aware of what’s happening. This is the everyday reality of people living with Motor Neurone Disease (MND) in Kenya.

The occupation at higher risk of developing motor neurone disease Unlike many chronic conditions linked to lifestyle, where being ‘unhealthy’ increases risk, MND doesn’t follow the usual rules ...

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