WebbPrimary lateral sclerosis, or PLS, is a disease that is extremely similar to ALS. Like ALS, PLS is a neurodegenerative disease that leads to diminished motor neuron function. PLS is slightly less severe than ALS, affecting only one subtype of motor neuron, whereas ALS affects two subtypes. According to the ALS Society of Canada, PLS affects ... WebbAmyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) attacks motor neurons (a type of nerve cell) in the brain and spinal cord. There are two types of motor neurons: upper motor neurons (UMNs) that send nerve fibers down the from the motor cortex in the brain (part of the brain that controls movement) to the spinal cord; lower motor neurons (LMNs) send nerve fibers …
