Transorbital Sonography and Visual Outcome for the Diagnosis and Monitoring of Optic Neuritis
CONCLUSIONSTOS is a useful tool to support diagnosis of ON. This technique seems to have less value to evaluate atrophy of the optic nerve after 12 months. (Source: Journal of Neuroimaging)

Diffusion Tensor Imaging ‐Defined Sulcal Enlargement Is Related to Cognitive Impairment in Multiple Sclerosis
CONCLUSIONSulcal CSF correlates with CI in patients with MS, possibly explained by cortical atrophy. DTI/T1w‐based sulcal CSF segmentation method might be used as an indirect and simple neuroimaging marker to monitor CI in MS patients. (Source: Journal of Neuroimaging)

Rethinking the Use of Neutral Faces as a Baseline in fMRI Neuroimaging Studies of Axis ‐I Psychiatric Disorders
ABSTRACT
Major Axis‐I disorders including major depressive disorder (MDD), bipolar disorder (BD), anxiety disorder, and schizophrenia are associated with a host of aberrations in the way social stimuli are processed. Face perception tasks are often used in neuroimaging research of emotion processing in both healthy and patient populations, and to date, there exists a mounting body of evidence, both behavioral and within the brain, indicating that emotional faces compared to neutral faces are processed abnormally by those with Axis‐I disorders relative to healthy control (HC) groups. The use of neutral faces as a “bas...

Differential Impact of Multiple Sclerosis on Cortical and Deep Gray Matter Structures in African Americans and Caucasian Americans
CONCLUSIONAAwMS and CAwMS patients differ with regard to global and regional cortical thickness and thalamic volume. This diverging pattern of gray matter volumetrics among otherwise matched patients suggests that racial‐specific disease differences may exist. (Source: Journal of Neuroimaging)

Poststroke Cognitive Decline is Independent of Longitudinal Changes in Cerebral Hemodynamics Parameters
CONCLUSIONAlthough hemodynamic parameters deteriorate in a considerable proportion of patients during first 3–6 months after a cerebrovascular event, cognitive decline appears to be an independent phenomenon. (Source: Journal of Neuroimaging)

Correcting for Frequency Drift in Clinical Brain MR Spectroscopy
CONCLUSIONFrequency correction is an important step in processing MRS data, significantly impacting metabolite quantification, particularly after echo‐planar imaging that often occurs with MRS scans in clinical studies. Spectral registration proved most effective at frequency correction. (Source: Journal of Neuroimaging)

Topographic Assessment of Acute Ischemic Changes for Prognostication of Anterior Circulation Stroke
CONCLUSIONSTopographic assessment of acute ischemic changes using the sASPECTS (including caudate, lentiform nucleus, insula, and M5) can predict disability/death in anterior circulation stroke as accurately as the ASPECTS; and may help predict response to treatment and risk of developing symptomatic ICH.

Cerebral Glucose Metabolism and Dopaminergic Function in Patients with Corticobasal Syndrome
CONCLUSIONSWe replicated and refined earlier findings of impaired glucose metabolism and nigrostriatal degeneration in CBS, highlighting asymmetric cortical and subcortical hypometabolism, symmetrically reduced metabolism in the thalamus, and only a slightly asymmetric reduction in DAT, while D2/3 receptors seem to be mainly preserved. These results provide systematic evidence for the usefulness of FDG PET and dopaminergic SPECT imaging to characterize CBS. (Source: Journal of Neuroimaging)
