Neurosyphilis is considered infectious but is not transmitted from person to person. Generally, a disease like this is caused by an infectious agent and not spread between people. Neurosyphilis, although infectious, is not a genetic disease.
Motown is a record company founded by Berry Gordy, Jr. and incorporated as Motown Record Corporation in Detroit, Michigan, USA, on April 14, 1960. The name, a portmanteau of motor and town, is also a nickname for Detroit.
Motown's most successful artists in the 1970s and '80s were Stevie Wonder, Marvin Gaye, Diana Ross, Smokey Robinson, and Lionel Ritchie and the Commodores. Gordy moved the company headquarters to Los Angeles in 1971, dabbled in motion pictures at that time, and finally sold Motown Records to MCA in 1988.
