Abstract
Somatosensory evoked potentials (SEPs) were studied in 21 cases of amy otrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and 7 cases of primary lateral sclero sis (PLS). Despite the lack of clinical sensory abnormalities, SEPs sh owed abnormalities in both diseases: lack or delay of some components. In ALS these abnormalities indicate widespread sensory disturbance. I n PLS only, the Brodmann area 4 seems to be affected.
