Abstract
Abstract Motor neuron disease, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, is so called because it is characterized by a selective degeneration of the motor neuron involving both the corticospinal pathways and those which originate in the motor nuclei of the brainstem and the anterior horn cells of the spinal cord, though in some patients only spinal motor neurons appear to be involved, at any rate until the late stages of the disease.
