amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

Protofibrils can appear in motor neurons, and plaques can appear there later {amyotrophic lateral sclerosis}| (ALS) {Lou Gehrig's disease}. Mao Tse-tung, David Niven, Stephen Hawking, and Dmitri Shostakovich had it. Superoxide dismutase can have mutations. ALS starts in axons. It first affects fast-twitch and fast-fatigue muscle fibers, then fast-twitch and fatigue-resistant muscle fibers, and then slow-twitch muscle fibers.
