Purpose Of Review: Imaging plays a key role in neuromodulation for Parkinson's disease, particularly for deep brain stimulation (DBS), which is the most frequently employed neuromodulatory treatment. Its role is rapidly expanding due to improving neuroradiological techniques.

Recent Findings: Imaging is crucial at each stage of DBS care: pre, intra-, and postoperative, with roles now going beyond the traditional surgical planning and lead localization.

: Sleep disorders (SDs) and Restless Legs Syndrome (RLS) have been reported with high prevalence in Multiple Sclerosis (MS), but data on Pediatric-Onset MS (POMS) are scarce. This study aims to assess the prevalence of SDs, particularly RLS, in a POMS cohort and examine associated clinical features. : We recruited POMS patients who attended the POMS Center of the Bambino Gesù Children's Hospital between September 2021 and February 2023; they were evaluated for SDs using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) or the Sleep Disturbance Scale for Children (SDSC) and screened for RLS.

Background: Cognitive impairment is common in multiple sclerosis (MS). Accurate measurement of cognitive change is essential for clinical trials.

Methods: The change in cognitive scores, clinical metrics of physical disability, and neuroradiological metrics was quantified in data from a phase-3 randomized controlled trial of natalizumab in secondary progressive MS (SPMS).

Introduction: For the accurate diagnosis of idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) an accurate neuroimaging is essential. Disproportionately enlarged subarachnoid-space hydrocephalus (DESH) is a key neuroradiological feature and novel imaging techniques, including voxel-based morphometry and AI-assisted analyses are emerging as powerful tools to investigate iNPH pathophysiology. Converging evidence also suggests a role for dopaminergic dysfunction in iNPH.

The glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) is a glycol-lipid that anchors several proteins to the cell surface. The GPI-anchor pathway is crucial for the correct function of proteins involved in cell function, and it is fundamental in early neurogenesis and neural development. The PIG gene family is a group of genes involved in this pathway with six genes identified so far, and defects in these genes are associated with a rare inborn metabolic disorder manifesting with a spectrum of clinical phenotypes in newborns and children.
