There is increasing recognition of cognitive
impairment in amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) (Rippon et
al ), Parkinson’s disease (Janvin et al ) and Progressive
Supranuclear Palsy (Millar et al ). Common features are
a dysexecutive syndrome affecting daily life well beyond the
physical disability associated with these conditions. This is
an opportunity to bridge the Movement disorders and the Cognitive
disorders fields (and clinics!).
