Harvard Center for Neurodegeneration and Repair Research Matters Harvard Health Publications Harvard Medical International ... Harvard Medicine Home What is Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, is a slowly progressive degeneration of nerve cells of the spinal cord, brain and brain stem, the bottom portion of the brain near the spinal cord. This degeneration affects only nerve cells that control muscle movements (motor neurons), resulting in the gradual loss of a person's ability to control his or her muscles. This disease does not affect mental abilities or nerves that control the senses. Although the cause of ALS remains unknown, current theories suggest that certain chemicals, including one that transmits signals between nerve cells, may play some role in the death of motor nerve cells. >More Research News Featuring Harvard Medical School and Affiliated Hospitals New Center Will Bring Basic Neuroscience to the Bedside. Feb. 2001. The Harvard Center for Neurodegeneration and Repair (HCNR) is a decentralized community of Harvard Medical School neuroscientists and neurology researchers. More than 500 neuro-related faculty and postdoctoral researchers will operate out of the five core facilities of the collaborative. The facilities are: the Center for Translational Neurology Research, the Center for Brain Imaging, the Center for Molecular Pathology, the Laboratory for Drug Discovery in NeurodegenerationÝand the Center for Bioinformatics.

Index Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) What is amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)? ALS is a disease that causes gradual loss of control and weakness of muscles. The mind is usually not affected, despite worsening weakness of the body. ALS is also called Lou Gehrig's disease, after a well-known baseball player who died of ALS. It is rare. About 1 new case per 100,000 people is diagnosed each year. Symptoms most often appear in people who are between 40 and 70 years old. The symptoms worsen more rapidly in some people than in others, eventually leading to death. How does it occur?

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) , also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, is a progressive wasting away of certain nerve cells of the brain and spinal column called motor neurons. The motor neurons control the voluntary muscles, which are the muscles that allow movement. ALS is a progressive, disabling, usually fatal disease. Walking, speaking, eating, swallowing, breathing, and other basic functions become more difficult with time. These problems can lead to injury, illness, and other complications. In the United States and most other parts of the world, 1 to 2 people per 100,000 develop ALS each year. Men are affected slightly more often than women. Although ALS may occur at any age, it is most common in middle-aged and older adults.

AMYOTROPHIC LATERAL SCLEROSIS ALS is one of the least understood, least treatable and most invariably fatal diseases in neurology. Lou Gehrig (1903-1941) The "Iron Horse" played continuously for the Yankees from 6/1/25 to 4/30/39, 2130 games, .340 average. Some studies have found an association between exceptional athleticism (lifetime sweating*, actually) and ALS. Also called Lou Gehrig's Disease, the neurologist who diagnosed it in the famous baseball player patiently watched the athlete's back for twenty minutes, noted the fasciculations which vary so much from muscle to muscle and moment to moment. Gehrig died two years after diagnosis. From the SF Chronicle, February 7 1987 Three football players all on the same 1964 49er's team, subsequently developed ALS. The recent news of Catfish Hunter's diagnosis underscores the fact that otherwise vigorous healthy men, especially atheltic men in their prime, seem to be the most vulnerable. The Chronicle article underscores the yearning to understand the disease and the association with toxins Fasciculations may be subtle or severe to the point of "vermiculation" giving a "bag of worms" appearance, for example, the infamous "scrotal tongue" when the motor neurons of the 12th Cranial Nerve in the brainstem are affected.

PubMed Citation Over the past decade, there have been extraordinary advances in understanding the molecular physiology of the brain and its disorders. Unfortunately, few if any of these insights have been translated into meaningful therapies. This failure undoubtedly reflects the general complexity of the central nervous system and the "orphan" status of many of the disorders, including most of the neurodegenerative diseases. Because the potential market value of drugs for these orphan diseases is small, they are usually viewed as inappropriate targets for drug development by pharmaceutical companies. In this context, a recent study by Rothstein and colleagues is notable. This

Onset of the disease can be as early as the third decade of life, most cases begin after age 40, and the incidence increases into the eighth decade.
