abstract = {There is neuroanatomical and clinical evidence that the
corticospinal tract governs the patterns of pareses in
sporadic ALS. These patterns are mirrored by
phylogenetically young monosynaptic corticomotor neuronal
connections. It is well known that, clinically, dysfunction
of the deltoid muscle contributes considerably to the early
disability of the ALS patient. In this study, we
prospectively compared the degree of pareses of the deltoid
muscle with the triceps and biceps brachii in N = 71
patients (426 muscles). We could show that the extent of
involvement of the deltoid muscle early in the disease
process resembles that of the biceps rather than the triceps
brachii. This pattern is consistent with functional data of
the corticospinal monosynaptic connectivity of all three
muscles.},
