Main finding: Cognitive impairment in #ALS was associated with a faster decline of motor functions, and shorter survival. However, cognition was stable over time. (2/2)

New paper @karolinskainst led by Linn Öijerstedt showing how repeated cognitive assessments using #ECAS show stable function over time in patients with #ALS (a.k.a. #MND). Read the article in full here: https://t.co/7Cy2BTOnTW (1/2)
