  • (PLS): patients with clinical diagnosis of PSMA or PLS, after excluding other
  • diseases. iii) Patients with \*ALS mimic syndromes\*: patients suspected of /with
  • mimic disorders (e.g. multifocal motor neuropathy, inclusion body myositis,
  • cervical myeloradiculopathy, myasthenia gravis, Kennedy\*s disease, spinal
  • muscular atrophy).
  • 1b) Healthy controls without manifest diagnosis of motor neuron disease or ALS

Exclusion Criteria

  • ventilation; 2 ) Any history or presence of brain injury, epilepsy, psychiatric
  • illness and other cerebral disease; 3\) Any intoxication or medication known to
  • have an association with motor neuron dysfunction, which might confound or
  • obscure the diagnosis of motor neuron disease; 4\) Presence of pronounced
