Menardi et al. used multimodal imaging data to model cognitive decline. While preserved some regions showed unexpected inverted patterns.This may reflect mismatches between tau buildup or compensatory brain folding mechanisms countering neurodegeneration. buff.ly/O8vEemz

Tsagkaris, McClelland et al. report that in paediatric dystonia, regional patterns of brain glucose metabolism, measured with PET imaging, are related to neurophysiological measures of the functional integrity of motor and sensory neural pathways. 👉 buff.ly/2vnTZLR

Kukulka et al. report that pontocerebellar hypoplasia is often linked to mutations in TSEN54, RARS2, EXOSC3 and AMPD2. They propose a dyadic gene-based classification to better diagnostic clarity, and highlight research opportunities. buff.ly/ucRHJrr

Durcan et al. propose that loss of noradrenaline links to the pathologic progression of neurodegenerative diseases. Clinical trials are warranted to test noradrenergic therapies as potential disease-modifying treatments. buff.ly/8hysOz6 #neurodegeneration
