“Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), often referred to as ‘Lou Gehrigs Disease,’ is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord...When the motor neurons die, the ability of the brain to initiate and control muscle movement is lost. With voluntary muscle action progressively affected, patients in the later stages of the disease may become totally paralyzed.” --ALS Association Thanks to Razina Aziz-Bose for nominating me
