Plasma Neurofilament Heavy Chain Levels Correlate to Markers of Late Stage Disease Progression and Treatment Response in SOD1(G93A) Mice that Model ALS [PDF]
Background: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is an incurable neurodegenerative disorder characterised by progressive degeneration of motor neurons leading to death, typically within 3–5 years of symptom onset. The diagnosis of ALS is largely reliant

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is an idiopathic, fatal neurodegenerative disease of the human motor system. In this Seminar, we summarise current concepts about the origin of the disease, what predisposes patients to develop the disorder, and discuss why all cases of ALS are not the same.

Microstructural Correlates of Emotional Attribution Impairment in Non-Demented Patients with Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis. [PDF]
Impairments in the ability to recognize and attribute emotional states to others have been described in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis patients and linked to the dysfunction of key nodes of the emotional empathy network. Microstructural correlates of such

Adult onset Sandhoff disease: a rare mimicker of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis [PDF]
Sandhoff disease is an under-recognized disease that may present as a lower motor neuron disorder in adulthood. We report the case of siblings presenting in their late 40s with a motor neuron disease phenotype and were misdiagnosed as amyotrophic lateral

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and cerebellum
AbstractAmyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a devastating, heterogeneous neurodegenerative neuromuscular disease that leads to a fatal outcome within 2–5 years, and yet, a precise nature of the association between its major phenotypes and the cerebellar role in ALS pathology remains unknown.

CSF concentrations of cAMP and cGMP are lower in patients with Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease but not Parkinson's disease and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. [PDF]
The cyclic nucleotides cyclic adenosine-3',5'-monophosphate (cAMP) and cyclic guanosine-3',5'-monophosphate (cGMP) are important second messengers and are potential biomarkers for Parkinson's disease (PD), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and ...

Elevated Levels of Methylmalonate and Homocysteine in Parkinson's Disease, Progressive Supranuclear Palsy and Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis [PDF]
Background/Aims: Increasing evidence suggests that elevated levels of homocysteine (Hcy) and methylmalonate (MMA) may be involved in the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases. Methods: The urine levels of MMA and serum levels of Hcy as well as folic
