Grant Activity:
The role of cortical dysfunction in ALS pathophysiology
Purpose:
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease killing 2 Australians every day. The disease starts in one arm or leg, and then progresses rapidly to result in global weakness. Patients describe as being trapped in their bodies. We don't understand the reasons underlying the development of ALS or why the disease spreads very rapidly. This research will attempt to identify factors driving the rapid spread of disease, in the hope of developing effective therapies.
