Research Background In the field of neuroscience, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) are two highly heterogeneous neurodegenerative diseases. Studies indicate that non-coding hexanucleotide repeat expansions in the c9orf72 gene are the most common genetic causes of these diseases. However, the specific ...

Analysis of Cortical Neurophysiological Characteristics of ALS and Its Potential as a Biomarker Background Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a neurodegenerative disease that affects adults, characterized by a gradual loss of the integrity of the brain, spinal cord, and peripheral motor system. Although clinical and genetic studies have reveale...
