Cognitive decline in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis: Neuropathological substrate and genetic determinants

Cognitive impairment and behavioral changes in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) are now recognized as part of the disease. Whether it is solely related to the extent of TDP-43 pathology is currently unclear. We aim to evaluate the influence of age, genetics, neuropathological features, and concom...

We assessed the burden and extent of concomitant pathologies, the role of APOE epsilon 4 and mutations, and correlated these findings with cognitive status.
