摘要:
Cortical hyperexcitability is an early pathophysiological feature of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS)Cortical hyperexcitability potentially mediates motor neuron degeneration in ALS via a dying-forward, trans-synaptic, glutaminergic mechanismThe identification of the C9orf72 hexanucleotide repeat expansion as a major cause of familial and apparently sporadic ALS, as well as frontotemporal dementia, underscored the importance of cortical dysfunctionCortical hyperexcitability is an important diagnostic biomarker of ALS, and could enable more-definitive diagnosis at an earlier stage of the disease process
