Altered cortical communication in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a disorder associated primarily with the degeneration of the motor system. More recently, functional connectivity studies have demonstrated potentially adaptive changes in ALS brain organization, but disease-related changes in cortical communication remain unknown. We recruited individuals with ALS and age-matched controls to operate a brain-computer inter...

Touch MEdical MEdia 53 Fasciculation, which is observed in various peripheral motor neuron disorders, is most frequently found in nonprogressive benign fasciculation syndrome (BFS). Patients with BFS never exhibit muscle atrophy or pathologic weakness and not all such patients visit hospitals; therefore, the prevalence and characteristics of BFS still need to be established. However, among the ...
متن کامل[Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis].
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive, degenerative disease of the motor system characterized by signs and symptoms of upper and lower motor dysfunction. This results in the presence of focal amyotrophies and pareses affecting voluntary muscles. Patients die after a few years, in most cases by respiratory failure. ALS is the most frequent motor neuron disease; however, its etiolo...
متن کاملAmyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder affecting 20,000 to 30,000 people in the United States. The mainstay of care of patients affected by this disease is supportive and given the multifaceted nature of their needs is provided most efficiently through multidisciplinary clinics that have shown to prolong survival and improve quality of life. The authors ...
