Primary lateral sclerosis (PLS) is a motor neuron disease variation of ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) but far more rare. PLS refers to patients who seem to have disruptions with only upper motor ...

Primary lateral sclerosis (PLS) and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) are neurodegenerative diseases. PLS typically develops slowly, while ALS rapidly affects mobility and can become fatal.

ALS progressively destroys the motor neurons that control voluntary muscles. Upper motor neurons, located in the brain, send messages to lower motor neurons in the spinal cord and from there to ...

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a degenerative neurological disorder that involves the death of nerve cells in the brain and spinal cord. This, over time, leads to the brain losing its ability ...

The disease is characterized by the selective degeneration of upper motor neurons in the motor cortex as well as the lower motor neurons in the brainstem and spinal cord. The cause of ALS remains ...

A research team led by scientists at MIT and at the Mayo Clinic has identified what they say are remarkable overlaps at the cellular and molecular levels between the movement disorder amyotrophic ...

In people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), changes in neurons appear to activate immune cells. Lowering the inflammation could reduce the symptoms of the disease, according to a study led by ...

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease which remains incurable. The disease is characterized by the selective degeneration of upper motor neurons in the motor cortex as ...
