Funded Activity Summary

At present, motor neurone disease remains an incurable, fatal neurodegenerative condition with few disease-modifying treatments. There is ongoing uncertainty around the mechanisms of onset and disease propagation. This research aims to clarify the onset and pathophysiological mechanisms of motor neurone disease using novel neurophysiological and neuroimaging techniques, the results of which will contribute to the search for early diagnositc markers and new treatments.
