Difference between Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and Neuroglia

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis vs. Neuroglia

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as motor neurone disease (MND), and Lou Gehrig's disease, is a specific disease which causes the death of neurons controlling voluntary muscles. Neuroglia, also called glial cells or simply glia, are non-neuronal cells in the central nervous system (brain and spinal cord) and the peripheral nervous system.

Similarities between Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and Neuroglia

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and Neuroglia have 5 things in common (in Unionpedia): Alzheimer's disease, Axon, Cerebrospinal fluid, Excitotoxicity, Parkinson's disease.

Alzheimer's disease

Alzheimer's disease (AD), also referred to simply as Alzheimer's, is a chronic neurodegenerative disease that usually starts slowly and worsens over time.

Axon

An axon (from Greek ἄξων áxōn, axis) or nerve fiber, is a long, slender projection of a nerve cell, or neuron, that typically conducts electrical impulses known as action potentials, away from the nerve cell body.

Excitotoxicity

Excitotoxicity is the pathological process by which nerve cells are damaged or killed by excessive stimulation by neurotransmitters such as glutamate and similar substances.
