Pick's disease (Lobar Sclerosis) is characterized by unilateral atrophy with knife - edge gyri in frontal and temporal lobes, intensely argentophilic (Pick) cytoplasmic inclusion bodies, and can present with dementia often leading to death before relatively young ages. Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis mainly affects motor neurons and not described in this way. Huntington's disease is associated with chorea and has different pathological features. Alzheimer's disease has amyloid - plaques and neurofibrillary tangles as main pathological hallmarks, not the features described here.
