In two new studies analyzing treatment decisions in late-stage amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) patients, researchers from the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania found that delaying one treatment resulted in not living long enough to experience the benefits. They also uncovered polarized preferences among patients regarding the value of an expensive, marginally effective disease-modifying drug. The research will be presented at the American Academy of Neurology's…

Alzheimer's disease drugs now being tested in clinical trials may have potentially adverse side effects. A study with mice suggests the drugs could act like a bad electrician, causing neurons to be miswired and interfering with their ability to send messages to the brain.
