Motor neuron disease refers to a spectrum of disorders resulting from degeneration of the upper or lower motor neurons or both. Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is the most common form of motor neuron disease, in which patients demonstrate evidence of both anterior horn cell (lower motor neuron) and corticospinal tract (upper motor neuron) dysfunction ...

Neurons but Motor Neurons in Motor Neuron disease
Italian Journal of Anatomy and Embryology, 2014The occurrence of motor neuron death is the milestone of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Therefore, morphological analysis along decades focussed on motor neuron loss as the sole marker to score disease severity. Recently, non autonomous cell death took a prominent role to explain the need for additional cell types to induce motor neuron ...

Allgrove syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterised by achalasia, alacrima, adrenal insufficiency, autonomic dysfunction and amyotrophy. The syndrome has been described in childhood and adult presentation, as in our case, is very rare.

A 59 year old man initially presented with weakness in his right leg and occasional trips. He had a longstanding history of mild low back pain and had a magnetic resonance image performed under the orthopaedic team that showed some cervical spondylolisthesis sparing the spinal cord.

ABSTRACT Motor neurons translate synaptic input from widely distributed premotor networks into patterns of action potentials that orchestrate motor unit force and motor behavior. Intercalated between the CNS and muscles, motor neurons add to and adjust the final motor command.

Motor neurone disease (MND) patients exhibit poor gait, balance, and postural control, all of which significantly increases their risk of falling. Falls are frequent in the MND population, and are associated with an increased burden of disease. The complex interplay of both motor and extramotor manifestations in this disease contributes to the ...

International Review of Neurobiology, 1999
Publisher Summary This chapter describes three sensory-to-motor reflexes and their associated central circuits and synapses. The uniquely identifiable neurons comprising these reflex circuits offer an excellent opportunity for investigating detailed molecular mechanisms underlying the development and operation of the central nervous system (CNS ...

The cell and molecular mechanisms which determine the motor neurone (MN) phenotype are unclear. Tissue culture models offer a unique system for the study of a wide variety of MN features. For instance, since the neurone-astrocyte metabolic interactions play a critical role in the selective MN loss observed in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), the ...

Essential facts Motor neurone disease describes a group of related diseases, affecting the neurones in the brain and spinal cord. Progressive, incurable and life-limiting, MND is rare, with about 1,100 people developing it each year in the UK and up to 5,000 people affected at any one time.

Motor neurons rely on motor proteins
Trends in Cell Biology, 2004The importance of active axonal transport to the neuron has been highlighted by the recent discoveries that mutations in microtubule motor proteins result in neurodegenerative diseases. Mutations affecting microtubule motor function have been shown to cause hereditary forms of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (type 2A), hereditary spastic paraplegia and ...
