The muscles atrophy quickly, causing weakness, paralysis, and eventual death, usually when the muscles that control respiration fail. The intellect, eye motion, and bladder control are not affected. ALS sometimes originates in the brain, causing initial symptoms such as difficulty in swallowing or talking; in other cases it originates in the spinal cord, causing initial symptoms such as weakness in the extremities. About 10% of ALS cases are hereditary. ALS usually develops after age 40; more men are affected than women.

Motoneurons of both the somatic and autonomic nervous system (ANS) originate in the ventral gray column of the spinal cord. Somatic fibers innervate skeletal muscle while autonomic fibers innervate cardiac muscle of the heart and smooth muscle of the visceral organs and glands. Click the link for more information. . Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), Progressive Muscular Atrophy (PMA), Progressive Bulbar Palsy (PBP) and Progessive Lateral Sclerosis (PLS) are all types of MND.

     Extractions: ALS attacks motor neurons, the cells that send messages to muscles throughout the body. In ALS, muscles do not receive the messages the brain sends. The muscles’ inability to move causes them to weaken and, eventually, most all muscle action in the body is affected, including swallowing and breathing.

     Extractions: Peer Review Status: Internally Peer Reviewed It's amyotrophic because the muscle supplied by the dead nerve cells wastes away; lateral because it affects the side of the spinal cord; and sclerosis because if you feel the cord in that region at autopsy the tissue feels very hard. It's Lou Gehrig's because the record-breaking first baseman and hitter died of it aged 38 in 1941. It is an adult-onset disease first described in France by Charcot in 1874. The disease affects men more than women and usually after age 40. Cells that are motor in function in the brain and spinal cord die and can no longer send messages to the muscles. There are signs of involvement of the brain to cord nerves (upper motor neurons) and of the cord to muscle nerves, (lower motor neurons). Most cases are sporadic, but about 5% occur in affected families. One unusual site for ALS is Guam where the disease is 50 times as prevalent as elsewhere. Viruses and prions have been looked for as a cause and not found. Initially the symptoms are difficulty in swallowing, slurred speech, and painless weakness in the hands or legs. The affected muscles show fasciculations that are rippling contractions seen through the skin or in the tongue. There is no curative treatment, although Rilutek (formerly Riluzole), an anti-glutamate medicine, adds months to patients' lifespan but does not relieve symptoms. At least 14 other drugs have been tested in controlled clinical trials and found to be ineffective. The disease progresses and patients usually die in three to five years, when the muscles controlling breathing fail. The brain, consciousness, eye movements and bladder muscles do not fail.

     Extractions: At the forefront of the battle against ALS (Lou Gehrig's Disease), The ALS Association is conducting the largest research program ever organized to find a cure for one of the world's most horrific diseases. Funded by $27 million in support from The ALS Association since 1991, a team of internationally recognized scientists is engaged in nearly 100 research projects, casting a broad scientific net to uncover important new facts about ALS. At present, there are three primary components in The ALS Association's The Lou Gehrig Challenge scientific research program:
