What does infectious polyneuritis do?

ALS, often referred to as "Lou Gehrig's Disease," is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. Motor neurons reach from the brain to the spinal cord and from the spinal cord to the muscles throughout the body. The progressive degeneration of the motor neurons in ALS eventually leads to their death.
What is als diseas?
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), often referred to as "Lou Gehrig's Disease," is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord.

What is progressive supranuclear palsy?
a rare disease that gradually destroys nerve cells in the parts of the brain that control eye movements, breathing, and muscle coordination.
What causes the destruction of red blood cells?
hemophagia
What is a rapidly progressive neurological disease that attacks the nerve cells responsible for controlling voluntary muscle?
Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
Why is Canavan disease called spongy degeneration of the brain?
Canavan disease is sometimes called spongy degeneration of the brain since it is characterized by a sponginess or swelling of the brain cells and a destruction of the white matter of the brain
