    Myotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), sometimes called Lou Gehrig's disease, is a rapidly progressive, invariably fatal neurological disease that attacks the nerve cells (neurons) responsible for controlling voluntary muscles (muscle action we are able to control, such as those in the arms, legs, and face). The disease belongs to a group of disorders known as motor neuron diseases, which are characterized by the gradual degeneration and death of motor neurons.

    Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis is studied by many including Neurologists, Neuroanatomists, Neuroscientists, and Neurosurgeons. There is no specific Neuro doctor that focuses on one disease.
