Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, usually referred to as ALS or Lou Gehrig's disease, is a condition that continually deteriorates motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord. Motor neurons are nerve cells that control muscle movements. When these nerves fail, the muscles they are supposed to communicate with don't receive the full messages that are being carried from the brain or spinal cord, causing the muscles to stop working properly. Early symptoms of this disease include cramping or twitching of feet and hand muscles, muscle weakness in the arms or legs, and slurred speech. As the disease progresses, people have difficulty with speaking, swallowing, and breathing, have persistent fatigue, muscle spasticity and intense twitching, severe muscle weakness, and frequent falls.

Many of you may not know much about Huntington’s disease. After reading this paper and the subsequent ones to come, you surely will. According to PudMedHealth.com, “Huntington’s disease is a disorder passed down through families in which nerve cells in certain parts of the brain waste away or degenerate.” This can lead to many different complications to a person’s health. In most cases, the disease’s symptoms develop later in life during a person’s mid thirties-forties. There are also instances where the disease becomes on-set in children or during adolescence.
