## Abstract On theoretical grounds, abnormalities of the motor cortex in patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) could lead to anterograde (βdyingβforwardβ) transneuronal degeneration of the anterior horn cells as suggested by Charcot. Conversely, retrograde (βdyingβbackβ) degeneration of
## Abstract The aim of this study was to identify a neurophysiological marker of upper motoneuron involvement in patients with sporadic amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). For this purpose we evaluated the afterβeffects of transcranial directβcurrent stimulation (tDCS) on excitability of the motor
