How MND affects multiple brain networks

Researchers in the Academic Unit of Neurology at Trinity College Dublin have identified characteristic changes in the patterns of electrical brain wave activity in motor neuron disease (MND). This ground breaking observation will help to develop treatments for the disease that affects over 350 people in Ireland.

Their findings, published in the recent issue of the journal Human Brain Mapping reveals how MND affects the neural communication in different brain networks.

Motor neuron disease (MND), also known as Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), is a devastating condition which causes progressive paralysis, increasing physical disability and ultimately death within an average of two to three years. One person is diagnosed every 3 days with the condition in Ireland.
