Resumen: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) belongs to the group of motor neuron diseases, in which the degeneration, the weakness of voluntary muscles, and death of motor neurons gradually spread along disease progression. ALS comes
from Greek language and means “no muscle nourishment” (“amyotrophic”), “area of the spinal cord where affected nerve cells are localized” (“lateral”), and “the degeneration and hardening of the spinal cord” (“sclerosis”). The fundamental contributions of the celebrated neurologist Jean-Martin Charcot at the end of the nineteenth century provided the first description of ALS....
