Dominant Heterogeneity of Upper and Lower Motor Neuron Degeneration to Motor Manifestation of Involved Region in Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis.


ABSTRACT: The aim of this study was to localize the anatomic distribution of upper motor neuron (UMN) loss through examining cortical thickness at the clinical onset of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and explore motor manifestation in functionally impaired body region attribute to impairment of lower motor neuron (LMN) or UMN or mixed LMN and UMN? The clinical features, cortical thickness of corresponding areas from different body regions in MRI and electromyography (EMG) data were collected from 108 classical ALS patients. The cortical thickness was thinner in ALS group than control group in bilateral head-face and upper-limb areas (p?
