The 5th ALS New Horizons Academy brought together early-career researchers to share their latest findings, foster collaboration, and develop a review on the peripheral nervous system’s role in ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis). Prof. Sabine Liebscher was a keynote speaker at this meeting, delivering an inspiring talk on cortical hyperexcitability in ALS.
