Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease that primarily affects motor neurons. Symptoms usually start in people over 40, is more common in men, and is not a demyelinating disorder (demyelinating disorders like multiple sclerosis affect the myelin sheath, while ALS affects motor neurons directly). ALS mainly affects motor neurons, not sensory neurons.
