Traumatic brain injury, neuroimaging, and neurodegeneration
TL;DR: How neuroimaging may be used in TBI is examined to understand the dynamic changes that occur in brain development relevant to understanding the effects of TBI and how these relate to developmental stage when the brain is injured and how TBI interferes with age-typical brain development.
Damage to the cingulum contributes to Alzheimer's disease pathophysiology by deafferentation mechanism.
Marco Bozzali,Giovanni Giulietti,Barbara Basile,Laura Serra,Barbara Spanò,Roberta Perri,Franco Giubilei,Camillo Marra,Carlo Caltagirone,Mara Cercignani +9 more
TL;DR: It is indicated that brain deafferentation though the cingulum is likely to play a remarkable role in progressive development of cognitive impairment in AD.
Are Anxiety Disorders Associated with Accelerated Aging? A Focus on Neuroprogression
TL;DR: Animal and human findings suggest an overlap between processes of impaired neurogenesis, neurodegeneration, structural, functional, molecular, and cellular modifications in AnxDs, and aging and a link between anxiety and accelerated aging across multiple processes involved in neuroprogression.
Brain Structure in Neuropsychologically Defined Subgroups of Schizophrenia and Psychotic Bipolar Disorder
Neil D. Woodward,Stephan Heckers +1 more
TL;DR: Patients with long-standing cognitive limitations exhibit evidence of early cerebral hypoplasia, whereas neuropsychologically normal and deteriorated patients show evidence of brain tissue loss consistent with progression or later cerebral dysmaturation.
Quantitative magnetization transfer provides information complementary to grey matter atrophy in Alzheimer's disease brains
Giovanni Giulietti,Marco Bozzali,Viviana Figura,Barbara Spanò,Roberta Perri,Camillo Marra,Giordano Lacidogna,Franco Giubilei,Carlo Caltagirone,Mara Cercignani +9 more
TL;DR: Results indicate that, among qMT parameters, RM(0)(B) is the most sensitive to AD pathology, and may reflect metabolic changes related to mitochondrial dysfunction, which has been proposed as a contributor to neurodegeneration in AD.

Voxel-Based Morphometry—The Methods
John Ashburner,Karl J. Friston +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the steps involved in VBM, with particular emphasis on segmenting gray matter from MR images with non-uniformity artifact and provide evaluations of the assumptions that underpin the method, including the accuracy of the segmentation and the assumptions made about the statistical distribution of the data.

TL;DR: This work identified progressive disabling mental impairment progressing to dementia as the central feature of DLB, and identified optimal staining methods for each of these and devised a protocol for the evaluation of cortical LB frequency based on a brain sampling procedure consistent with CERAD.

α-Synuclein in filamentous inclusions of Lewy bodies from Parkinson’s disease and dementia with Lewy bodies
TL;DR: It is shown thatLewy bodies and Lewy neurites from Parkinson’s disease and dementia with Lewy bodies are stained strongly by antibodies directed against amino- terminal and carboxyl-terminal sequences of α-synuclein, showing the presence of full- length or close to full-length α- synuclein.
