โฆ Synopsis
the most constant neuropathological changes in WHD. The degenerative process in these neurons is surprisingly identical to that affecting motor neurons or spinal ganglioncells in this disease. How can internally placed thalamic neurons, with their axons entirely buried in the cerebral hemispheres, be injured by nerve root traction [21 or be compressed by "glial bundles" [l]? Dr Chou's pioneer work kindled the scientific interest of neuropathologists in the "glial bundles," a newly recognized type of astocytic reaction just at the interface of the central and peripheral nervous systems. But any hypothesis concerning the pathogenesis of W H D should explain all aspects of this disease, which affects multiple heterogeneous structures in the central nervous system.

There is a significant degree of overlap between the clinical syndromes of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and chronic AlCl 3 neurotoxicity. Although there is little, if any, significant overlap with acute AlCl 3 neurotoxicity, these latter studies are of importance in demonstrating that an exog
The clinical presentation of motor neuropathy often resembles that of motor neuron disease, sometimes leading to an erroneous diagnosis. Moreover, the underlying pathological process in motor neuropathy has been rarely investigated and there are no systematic studies of the affected motor nerves. We
Some have suggested that nonfamilial motor neuron disease (MND) may be autoimmune, and the neurological disorder may benefit from immunotherapy. There have been reports of over 30 cases of lymphoproliferative disease (lymphoma, multiple myeloma, Waldenstrom's macroglobulinemia) with MND, and these p
