Selective vulnerability to atrophy in sporadic Creutzfeldt‐Jakob disease
Objective Identification of brain regions susceptible to quantifiable atrophy in sporadic Creutzfeldt‐Jakob disease (sCJD) should allow for improved understanding of disease pathophysiology and development of structural biomarkers that might be useful in
