Results at different statistical power thresholds revealed a pattern of sequential involvement of ALS-specific white matter regions. Specific involvement of the CST at the highest threshold (ALS stage 1), followed by additional involvement of corticorubral/-pontine tract together with corticostriatal pathways at a lower frequency of alteration threshold (ALS stages 2 and 3), and. finally, revealing also hippocampal involvement for the lowest threshold corresponding to the proximal portion of the perforant path (ALS stage 4). Hot colors encode the frequency of alteration. (A) Results of the meta-analysis. (B) Results clusters of the WBSS of FA maps. (C) Simulation pattern of ALS-associated spread of TDP-43 pathology.
