Oculomotor Neurons In Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis is an important cell type in the neurobiology of neurodegenerative diseases. This page provides detailed information about its structure, function, and role in disease processes.
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder affecting both upper and lower motor neurons. The oculomotor system—controlling eye movements—is relatively spared until late stages of disease, making it a window into disease progression and therapeutic targeting. The neurons controlling eye movements exhibit unique vulnerability patterns in ALS that distinguish them from spinal motor neurons. [@motor2019]
