Upper motor neurons (UMN) are responsible for conveying impulses for voluntary motor activity through descending motor pathways that make up the upper motor neurons.. Motor Neurone Disease (MND) is an uncommon disease that affects the brain and nerves. In MND your motor nerves become damaged and eventually stop working and you gradually lose your strength . There is currently no cure for Motor Neurone Disease . M – THE FAST FA CT S MND is a progressive, terminal neurological disease • Sufferers progressively lose the ability to walk, talk, feed themselv es, swallow, and ultimately breathe • MND can a (ALS; also known as Lou Gehrigs disease and motor neuron disease) is a progressive, lethal, degenerative disorder of motor neurons. The hallmark of this disease is the selective death of motor Understand the motor pathway from spinal cord to skeletal muscle.
