ALS & Cognitive Functions

Join us for our March ALS Learning Series discussing cognitive functions with Catherine Lomen-Hoerth, MD. She will provide an overview of ALS, including its causes and symptoms, and how it affects cognitive functioning. Dr. Lomen-Hoerth will cover the latest research on cognitive changes, and offer tips on managing these symptoms, as well as strategies to support people living with ALS and their families who are impacted by these changes. Tune in to learn more about this otherwise missed component of ALS.
