Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis — a multisystem neurodegenerative disorderAmyotrophic lateral sclerosis — a multisystem neurodegenerative disorder, Published online: 16 November 2018; doi:10.1038/s41582-018-0103-yAmyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a progressive motor disorder, and many patients also show non-motor symptoms including executive, behavioural and language dysfunction.
