The landscape of cognitive impairment in superoxide dismutase 1-amyotrophic lateral sclerosis

open access: yesNeural Regeneration Research, 2023
Although mutations in the superoxide dismutase 1 gene account for only a minority of total amyotrophic lateral sclerosis cases, the discovery of this gene has been crucial for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis research. Since the identification of superoxide

Occasional essay: upper motor neuron syndrome in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
The diagnosis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) requires recognition of both lower (LMN) and upper motor neuron (UMN) dysfunction.1 However, classical UMN signs are frequently difficult to identify in ALS.2 LMN involvement is sensitively detected ...
