Neurones are nerve cells. Motor neurones take messages from the brain to the voluntary muscles and to some glands. There are two types of motor neurones. Upper motor neurones (UMN) take the messages from the brain through the spinal cord. Lower motor neurones (LMN) take the message from the spinal cord to the muscles.

Way back in 1960, a young Doctor Byron Kakulas realised complete and total regeneration of skeletal muscle throughout the body was possible. This ground breaking discovery was made in quokkas that were suffering from paralysis. This was of huge significance to human muscle disease research, such as the muscular dystrophies, which are the most common of neuromuscular conditions. It offered hope for a cure for the very first time. Following the discovery, Muscular Dystrophy WA was founded in 1967 by a small group of parents in conjunction with the Rotary Club of West Perth and Professor Byron Kakulas.
