According to the National ALS Association “Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord.” The motor neurons progressively degenerate and die, as communication is inhibited between the brain, spinal cord, and muscles in
