Is there an association between memory problems and als?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Occasionally: There is a form of frontal-temporal dementia that can be associated with als. This is a genetically linked variation. The usual case of ALS spares memory and cognition, which unfortunately allows the pt to understand what is occurring with an incurable disease.
