Motor Neurone Disease (MND) is a neurological disease in which the nerve cells controlling muscle movement degenerate and die. Currently there is no cure or preventive treatment available for MND - but researchers like Dr San Gil are trying to change that. Watch this video to learn a bit about the methods used in MND research, and how this could help identify new treatments.
