Recall the genes implicated in, and the pathways associated with, the development of ALS

Describe the pathology of ALS, including motor neuron biology, the process of neuronal degeneration, spinal cord atrophy, and neuronal death

Review the cell-based and animals models that have informed researchers around the pathophysiologic complexities of ALS.

In this module, Terry Heiman-Patterson, MD discusses the pathophysiology of ALS, and considers how disease models may lead to improved therapeutics that are designed to address the pathologic mechanisms involved in ALS.
