Impaired cognitive flexibility in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Up to half of patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) may have cognitive difficulty, but most cognitive measures are confounded by a motor component. Studies relating impaired cognition in ALS to disease in gray matter and white matter are rare. Our objective was to assess executive function in patients with ALS using a simple, untimed measure with minimal mot...
متن کاملImpaired action knowledge in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
BACKGROUND Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative condition affecting the motor system, but recent work also shows more widespread cognitive impairment. This study examined performance on measures requiring knowledge of actions, and related performance to MRI cortical atrophy in ALS. METHODS A total of 34 patients with ALS performed measures requiring word-description matc...
متن کاملSelective attention is impaired in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis--a study of event-related EEG potentials.
In humans, selective attention is assumed to be under control of the frontal lobe. A significant proportion of patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) shows impairments in various tasks touching frontal lobe function. We, therefore, undertook a study of event-related EEG potentials (ERPs) in eight non-demented ALS patients in order to investigate a possible deficit of auditory selecti...
متن کاملAltered axonal excitability properties in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: impaired potassium channel function related to disease stage.
Fasciculations are a characteristic feature of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), and can arise proximally or distally in the motor neuron, indicating a widespread disturbance in membrane excitability. Previous studies of axonal excitability properties (i.e. threshold electrotonus, strength-duration time constant) have suggested respectively that change in potassium or sodium channels may be ...
متن کاملImpaired Perception of Emotional Expression in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The increasing recognition that deficits in social emotions occur in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is helping to explain the spectrum of neuropsychological dysfunctions, thus supporting the view of ALS as a multisystem disorder involving neuropsychological deficits as well as motor deficits. The aim of this study was to characterize the emotion perception abilities ...
