Absence of EEG correlates Processing Depth in ALS



Healthy individuals, and B. ALS patients. Inset plot shows for every frequency band the modulation of the mean log-band powers in the self-referential conditions relative to the control (“count”) condition. The mean log-band power is averaged over subjects and trials for every frequency band. γ1 indicates low γ and γ2 indicates high γ. Note that modulations relative to the control condition were used only for visualisation 


Color shows voxels with p < 0.05.   

Decreased levels of serotonin and reduced activations of the DMN observed 
in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) 

Dysfunctional processing of the medial prefrontal cortex.

Serotonin-innervated neurons outside of the motor cortices are involved in 
high cognitive processing
