Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis, Parkinson’s Disease and Alzheimer’s Disease: Phylogenetic Disorders of the Human Neocortex Sharing Many Characteristics

1992-02-01

Abstract excerpt

ABSTRACT: Features common to amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), Parkinson’s disease (PD) and Alzheimer’s disease (AD) are reviewed. Shared epidemiological aspects include an increasing frequency which is proportional for each disease. We draw attention to geographic non-uniform distribution which, for ALS and PD, correlates positively with latitude. Clinical and pathological overlap occurs in the same patients,...
