According to a study published in , Radiology 2013;267 851-857, Whole-Brain Analysis of Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis by Using Echo-Planar Spectroscopic Imaging:  Significantly lower N-acetylaspartate (NAA)/creatinine and NAA/choline ratios in the precentral gyrus, midfrontal region, left caudate, occipital lobe, and other regions confirm that amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is a multisystem disorder of the entire brain and is not restricted to the motor cortex.
