Abstract: Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disease characterized by progressive degeneration of motor pathways. A growing body of evidence from recent years suggests that ALS results in a wide range of non-motor symptoms as well, which can have a significant impact on patients’ quality of life. These symptoms could also, in turn, provide useful information as biomarkers for disease progression, and can shed insight on ALS mechanisms. Here we aim to review a wide range of non-motor symptoms of ALS, with emphasis on their importance to research and clinical treatment of patients.
