Official Title: Cognitive and Emotional Disorders in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis : Neuropsychological, Imaging and Neuropathological Study
Brief Summary: Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease that involves not only motor structures, as was previously thought, but also brain areas dealing with cognition as well as parts of the limbic system. Clinical, imaging and pathological evidence suggests that ALS and fronto-temporal dementia (FTD) have several features in common, and that these two diseases could be the two ends of a pathological continuum.
