Motor Neuron Disease (Mnd) Neurons 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.
Motor Neuron Disease (MND) encompasses a group of progressive neurodegenerative disorders characterized by the selective degeneration of upper and/or lower motor neurons. Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is the most common form, but the spectrum includes progressive muscular atrophy, primary lateral sclerosis, and progressive bulbar palsy. [@taylor2016]
