Signs of a pseudobulbar palsy are a stiff, slow, spastic tongue (which is not wasted) and dysarthria with a ‘gravelly’ spastic voice that is slow and sounds ‘dry’. The gag reflex and palatal reflex are preserved. The jaw jerk is exaggerated. [medassignments.com]

Protrusion frequently causes a fine tremor in the normal tongue, which can obscure or mimic fasciculations. Simply having the patient protrude their tongue in the midline tests strength of the tongue. [dartmouth.edu]
These symptoms could include mental illness (hallucinations and the like), trouble speaking, hearing, seeing, the inability to properly move the body, tremors, and more. [militarydisabilitymadeeasy.com]
In addition to motor neuropathy, there is also sensory neuropathy, and postural and intention tremor. Nonneurological manifestations include gynecomastia, loss of masculinisation, and erectile dysfunction. Motor manifestations may be asymmetric. [ruralneuropractice.com]
