Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a universally fatal neurodegenerative disease of the human motor system. Aetiological mechanisms implicated in the development of ALS have been linked to the glutamatergic neurotransmitter system, with destruction of motor neurons triggered through excessive activation
