Digging deep into the molecular mechanisms behind ALS, researchers at the Les Turner ALS Center at Northwestern Medicine have discovered why nerve cells overfire in the disease. Not only that—they ...

Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that predominantly targets the motor system. Spread of pathology is thought to be driven by both local vulnerability and ...

The resulting hypothalamic volumes showed neither sex- nor age-dependence; therefore, no correction with these covariates has been performed. The association analysis of the hypothalamic volumes of ...

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a rare nervous system disease that destroys motor neuron cells in the spinal cord and brain. This cell damage leads to loss of muscle weakness, loss of mass, ...
