British scientists are embarking on a major new trial to assess the impact of the mood stabiliser lithium as a treatment for motor neurone disease.

They say the research is necessary because positive findings from a small-scale Italian study were "too dramatic to ignore".

But they are urging patients with the disease not to take the treatment in advance of their results.

They warn that some side-effects of lithium are potentially dangerous.
