Quizplus · Accepted Answer

ALS, also known as Lou Gehrig's disease, is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that attacks the nerve cells responsible for controlling voluntary muscle movement. It primarily affects adults in their mid to late 50s, but can occur at any age. Gender does not have a significant impact on the risk of developing ALS. While cognitive and behavioral changes can occur in some individuals with ALS, this is not a defining characteristic of the disease.
