Nerves (neurones) are like wires that carry tiny electrical impulses ('messages') between the brain, spinal cord and the rest of the body. In motor neurone disease (MND), motor nerves become damaged and eventually stop working. Therefore, the muscles that the damaged nerves supply gradually lose their strength. There are various 'sub-types' of MND.

Huntington's disease is an inherited disease of the brain. There is no cure, but much can be done to help families. The disease damages some of the nerve cells in the brain, causing deterioration and gradual loss of function of areas of the brain. This affects movement, cognition (perception, awareness, thinking, judgement) and behaviour.
