Motor neuron diseases in man and animals

Invest Cell Pathol. 1978 Jul-Sep;1(3):249-62.

Abstract

Aspects of motor neuron diseases in man are described and compared with a series of animal models for these disorders. Such models provide new approaches to understanding many features of abnormalities of the central and peripheral nervous system.
