  2. ALS - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ALS

    ALS is a motor neuron disease, which is a group of neurological disorders that selectively affect motor neurons, the cells that control voluntary muscles of the body. [3] Other motor neuron diseases include primary lateral sclerosis (PLS), progressive muscular atrophy (PMA), progressive bulbar palsy, pseudobulbar palsy, and monomelic amyotrophy ...

  3. Multifocal motor neuropathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Multifocal_motor_neuropathy

    Multifocal motor neuropathy (MMN) is a progressively worsening condition where muscles in the extremities gradually weaken.The disorder, a pure motor neuropathy syndrome, is sometimes mistaken for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) because of the similarity in the clinical picture, especially if muscle fasciculations are present.

    This is a list of major and frequently observed neurological disorders (e.g., Alzheimer's disease), symptoms (e.g., back pain), signs (e.g., aphasia) and syndromes (e.g., Aicardi syndrome). There is disagreement over the definitions and criteria used to delineate various disorders and whether some of these conditions should be classified as ...

    Researchers say a new blood test can identify biomarkers that may help diagnose three neurodegenerative diseases, including ALS, earlier than current diagnostic methods

  6. Neurodegenerative disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurodegenerative_disease

    Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a chronic neurodegenerative disease that results in the loss of neurons and synapses in the cerebral cortex and certain subcortical structures, resulting in gross atrophy of the temporal lobe, parietal lobe, and parts of the frontal cortex and cingulate gyrus. [14]

  7. Canine degenerative myelopathy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canine_degenerative_myelopathy

    A dog with degenerative myelopathy often stands with its legs close together and may not correct an unusual foot position due to a lack of conscious proprioception. Canine degenerative myelopathy, also known as chronic degenerative radiculomyelopathy, is an incurable, progressive disease of the canine spinal cord that is similar in many ways to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS).

  8. Lytico-bodig disease - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lytico-Bodig_disease

    Lytico-bodig (also Lytigo-bodig [1]) disease, Guam disease, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis-parkinsonism-dementia complex (ALS-PDC) [2] is a neurodegenerative disease of uncertain etiology endemic to the Chamorro people of the island of Guam in Micronesia. Lytigo and bodig are Chamorro language words for two different manifestations of the ...

  9. Progressive muscular atrophy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Progressive_muscular_atrophy

    To this day, terminology around these diseases remains confusing because in the United Kingdom motor neurone disease refers to both ALS specifically and to the spectrum of ALS, PMA, PLS, and PBP. In the United States the most common terms are ALS (both specifically for ALS and as a blanket term) or Lou Gehrig's disease. [citation needed]
