What is the result when a virus destroys the motor neurons in the spinal cord or brain?

Most of the neurons in the brain and spinal cord are?

What is LAS disease?
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 disease causes the destruction of fatty materials that covers the axon of neurons in the brain and spinal cord?
multiple sclerosis
Which type of neurons impulses from sense organs to the spinal or brain?
Sensory neurons
How do sensory neurons and motor neurons act in opposite ways?
Sensory neurons carry impulses from the sense organs to the brain and the spinal cord . Motor neurons carry impulses from the brain and spinal cord to muscles or glands.
Which neurons transmit information to the brain and spinal cord?
Sensory neurons gather information and send it to your spinal cord.
What neurons carry impulses toward the spinal cord and brain?
afferent neurons
What type of neurons are responsible for transmitting nerve impulses from the spinal cord to the effector?
Signals are transmitted through the spinal cord and brain via neurons.
What carries impluses towards the brain and spinal cord?
The sensory neurons carry impulses through the spinal cord to the brain.
Which type of neurons carries impulse from sense organs to spinal cord or brain?
Sensory neurons
Which type of neurons carries impulses sense organs to the spinal cord or brain?
Sensory neurons
