Scientists have shown that mutations in specific genes that destroy motor neurons and thereby cause the devastating effects of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis — also known as ALS or Lou Gehrig's disease — also attack sensory neurons. The discovery indicates that studying sensory neurons could provide new mechanistic insights to prevent, slow, or even reverse ALS.
