Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease (PD), and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) are three of the major neurodegenerative diseases.
Classical ALS - a progressive neurological disease characterized by a deterioration of upper and lower motor neurons (nerve cells). This type of ALS affects more than two-thirds of those with the disease. Primary Lateral Sclerosis (PLS) - a progressive neurological disease in which the upper motor neurons (nerve cells) deteriorate. If the lower motor neurons are not affected within two years, the disease usually remains a pure upper motor neuron disease. This is the rarest form of ALS. Progressive Bulbar Palsy (PBP) - a condition that starts with difficulties in speaking, chewing and swallowing due to lower motor neuron (nerve cell) deterioration.
