abstract = {Previous studies have shown that in amyotrophic lateral
sclerosis (ALS) multiple motor and extra-motor regions
display structural and functional alterations. However,
their temporal dynamics during disease-progression are
unknown. To address this question we employed a longitudinal
design assessing motor- and novelty-related brain activity
in two fMRI sessions separated by a 3-month interval. In
each session, patients and controls executed a Go/NoGo-task,
in which additional presentation of novel stimuli served to
elicit hippocampal activity. We observed a decline in the
patients' movement-related activity during the 3-month
interval. Importantly, in comparison to controls, the
patients' motor activations were higher during the initial
measurement. Thus, the relative decrease seems to reflect a
breakdown of compensatory mechanisms due to progressive
neural loss within the motor-system. In contrast, the
patients' novelty-evoked hippocampal activity increased
across 3 months, most likely reflecting the build-up of
compensatory processes typically observed at the beginning
of lesions. Consistent with a stage-dependent emergence of
hippocampal and motor-system lesions, we observed a positive
correlation between the ALSFRS-R or MRC-Megascores and the
decline in motor activity, but a negative one with the
hippocampal activation-increase. Finally, to determine
whether the observed functional changes co-occur with
structural alterations, we performed voxel-based volumetric
analyses on magnetization transfer images in a separate
patient cohort studied cross-sectionally at another scanning
site. Therein, we observed a close overlap between the
structural changes in this cohort, and the functional
alterations in the other. Thus, our results provide
important insights into the temporal dynamics of functional
alterations during disease-progression, and provide support
for an anatomical relationship between functional and
structural cerebral changes in ALS.},
