SUMMARY:ATOM Society talk - Motor Neuron Disease (MND)
DESCRIPTION:Several high-profile cases of MND among sports stars have brought much increased attention to this progressive degenerative disorder. The ATOM Society will host a talk by a leading local expert\, Professor Kevin Talbot at 19:30 on Tuesday (new weekday this year!) 16th October 2023 in Abingdon United Football Club\, Northcourt Rd\, OX14 1PL\, Abingdon. \nMotor neuron disease\, or amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)\, is a relentlessly progressive and uniformly fatal neurodegenerative disease\, which leads to paralysis of voluntary movement. Kevin’s talk will explore the nature of neurodegeneration\, using the example of ALS\, and explain how recent research provides a roadmap to improving the prospects for treatment and to ultimately make ALS preventable. \nProfessor Talbot qualified in medicine in London and has focussed on neurology. He is currently Head of Department at the University of Oxford Nuffield Department of Clinical Neurosciences. \nFor more information\, please see atomsociety.org.uk.
