The clinical electrodiagnostic medicine (EDX) consultant asked to assess patients with suspected amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) has a number of responsibilities. Among the most important is to provide a clinical assessment in conjunction with the EDX study. The seriousness of the diagnoses and

## 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
The objective of this study was to examine the contribution of lower motor neuron (LMN) and upper motor neuron (UMN) dysfunction to weakness and impaired motor control in 27 patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). Isometric strength was measured by dorsiflexor maximum voluntary contractio
## Abstract The central nervous system (CNS) is equipped with a variety of cell types, all of which are assigned particular roles during the development, maintenance, function and repair of neural tissue. One glial cell type, microglia, deserves particular attention, as its role in the healthy or i
Mutations of Cu,Zn superoxide dismutase cause an autosomal dominant form of familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. An animal model of the disease has been produced by expressing mutant human SOD1 in transgenic mice (G93A). In order to quantify the dysfunction of the motor unit in transgenic mice, e
