Introduction: Radiosurgery targeting the thalamus has long been used to treat refractory pain, with medial thalamotomy as a key approach. Traditionally, targeting relied on indirect methods based on anatomical atlases, which do not account for individual variations in brain connectivity. Recent advances in connectomic-guided stereotactic radiosurgery have improved precision in the treatment of movement disorders, but their application to pain management remains underexplored.

Introduction: Dysfunction of the glymphatic system is thought to lead to build up of toxic proteins including β-amyloid and α-synuclein, and thus may be involved in dementia with Lewy bodies (DLB) and Alzheimer's disease (AD). The Diffusion Tensor Image Analysis Along the Perivascular Space (DTI-ALPS) index has been proposed as a marker of glymphatic function.

Aims: To investigate DTI-ALPS in mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and dementia, and determine its relationship with cognitive decline, and biomarkers of neurodegeneration.

Introduction: Absence of language development is a condition encountered across a large range of neurodevelopmental disorders, including a significant proportion of children with autism spectrum disorder. The neurobiological underpinnings of non-verbal ASD (nvASD) remain poorly understood.

Methods: This study employed multimodal MRI to investigate white matter (WM) microstructural abnormalities in nvASD, focusing on language-related pathways.

Alzheimer's disease (AD) has become a great concern for society in general and clinicians specifically because of its high morbidity, relative lack of awareness of its characteristics, and low diagnosis and treatment rates. Worldwide, there is a lack of effective treatments for slowing the progression of AD in clinical practice. Thus, the management of patients in the preclinical phase of AD (PPAD) has been identified to be highly important for addressing this concern.
