Associations of neurodegenerative proteins with brain iron deposition and cognition in cerebral small vessel disease: a quantitative susceptibility mapping and plasma biomarker study

Alzheimer's &Dementia, Volume 21, Issue 9, September 2025.
Abstract INTRODUCTION Cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) is a common neurological disorder with limited pathology on conventional magnetic resonance imaging. This study uses quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) to investigate links among brain iron, plasma neurodegenerative proteins, and cognition in CSVD.

Lesion‐Based Disconnectome Explains Cognitive Outcomes in Multiple Sclerosis

Journal of Neuroimaging, Volume 35, Issue 5, September/October 2025.
ABSTRACT Background and Purpose Cognitive impairment is common and disabling in multiple sclerosis (MS), yet poorly explained by lesion burden. This study aimed to determine whether the indirect impact of lesions, quantified through disconnectomes, explains multidomain cognitive deficits more effectively than lesion load, and to identify specific white

Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy Imaging Endophenotypes and Relationship With Cognition and Resting‐State EEG

Human Brain Mapping, Volume 46, Issue 7, May 2025.
ABSTRACT Structural neuroimaging studies of patients with Juvenile Myoclonic Epilepsy (JME) typically present two findings: 1‐volume reduction of subcortical gray matter structures, and 2‐abnormalities of cortical thickness. The general trend has been to observe increased cortical thickness primarily in medial frontal regions, but heterogeneity across ...

A new euarthropod from the Soom Shale (Ordovician) Konservat‐Lagerstätte, South Africa, with exceptional preservation of the connective endoskeleton and myoanatomy

Papers in Palaeontology, Volume 11, Issue 2, March/April 2025.
Abstract A new exceptionally preserved euarthropod, Keurbos susanae gen. et sp. nov. from the Upper Ordovician Soom Shale Konservat‐Lagerstätte of South Africa, is described herein. Two specimens exhibit an unusual preservation style such that the cuticular exoskeleton is preserved in low relief but retains high‐fidelity details, whereas the internal ...
