About the MLSE

The MLSE is a new short cognitive test, with a scoring system that is easy to learn and apply. It is accurate for classifying PPA syndromes, and has potential to screen and monitor language deficits that occur in other focal and neurodegenerative brain disorders associated with language impairment. increasing importance of language assessment in clinical research, the MLSE’s linguistic assessment tool enables the essential profiling of language deficits in a wide clinical community.
