Neuropathological studies provide an opportunity to investigate these issues; however, there have been very few published descriptions of postmortem findings in clinically defined PLS, using modern techniques. Here, we report the neuropathological features of seven cases of PLS with age at onset ranging from 47 to 73 years and disease duration from 3.5 to 35 years. All cases showed chronic degeneration of the primary motor cortex and\/or the corticospinal tracts with preservation of lower motor neurons (LMN). All five cases, in which motor cortex was available, had TDP-43 immunoreactive (TDP-ir) cortical pathology. In all seven cases, TDP-ir inclusions were also present in LMN; however, these were always rare, averaging less than one inclusion per tissue section. The finding of TDP-ir pathology in all our cases suggests that PLS and ALS are closely related conditions. Importantly however, the extremely minor involvement of LMN, even after very long disease duration in some cases, suggests that PLS is a distinct form of MND in which LMN are spared or protected.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":19,"featured_media":0,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"studies-relation":[],"class_list":["post-4790","ccna_publication","type-ccna_publication","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.8 -
