Frontal assessment battery and frontal atrophy in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis
OBJECTIVES To determine the potential utility of the frontal assessment battery (FAB) in assessing cognitive impairments in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), we investigated the association between the FAB score and regional gray matter volume, and ascertained whether the regional brain alterations related to cognitive impairments occur in relatively mild stage of ALS. MATERIALS AND METHOD...
متن کاملFrontal lobe dysfunction in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. A PET study.
PET measurements of regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) were used to explore frontal lobe dysfunction in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). An activation paradigm of executive frontal lobe function (verbal fluency), which contrasted rCBF during word generation and word repetition, was used. Two groups of ALS patients, defined by the presence or absence of cognitive impairment (ALSi) (impaired...
متن کاملPerformance on the Frontal Assessment Battery is sensitive to frontal lobe damage in stroke patients
BACKGROUND The Frontal Assessment Battery (FAB) is a brief battery of six neuropsychological tasks designed to assess frontal lobe function at bedside [Neurology 55:1621-1626, 2000]. The six FAB tasks explore cognitive and behavioral domains that are thought to be under the control of the frontal lobes, most notably conceptualization and abstract reasoning, lexical verbal fluency and mental fle...
متن کاملFrontal assessment battery to evaluate frontal lobe dysfunction in ALS patients.
BACKGROUND Assessment of frontal lobe impairment in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a matter of great importance, since it often causes ALS patients to decrease medication and nursing compliance, thus shortening their survival time. METHODS The frontal assessment battery (FAB) is a short and rapid method for assessing frontal executive functions. We investigated the applicability of th...
