Brain iron accumulation in Wilson disease: a post mortem 7 Tesla MRI – histopathological study
ConclusionsT2/T2*w hypointensity observed in vivo in the basal ganglia of WD patients is related to iron rather than copper deposits. (Source: Neuropathology and Applied Neurobiology)

Clinicopathologic heterogeneity in FTDP ‐17 due to MAPT p.P301L mutation, including a patient with globular glial tauopathy
Conclusions: This clinicopathologic study shows inter‐ and intra‐familial clinicopathologic heterogeneity of FTDP‐17 due to MAPT p.P301L mutation, including GGT in one patient.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved. (Source: Neuropathology and Applied Neurobiology)

Association of cortical microinfarcts and cerebral small vessel pathology in the ageing brain
ConclusionsThe etiology of CMI differs depending on brain location. CAA may play a role principally in the occipital cortex. The large number of intact vessels around the CMI (mainly in the frontal cortex and hippocampus) raises the possibility that pathologies other than structural microangiopathy, including hypoperfusion/arterial hypotension or large vessel atherosclerosis, play a role in the development of microvascular lesions. These results are relevant in the context of etiopathogenesis of vascular changes associated with conditions like vascular dementia.This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved. (...

Meningeal SMARCB1 ‐deficient tumors: an emerging group of meningeal tumors
ConclusionsThe phenotype and genotype of these two cases did not fit diagnostically with entities already known to be SMARCB1‐deficient tumors. As both tumors shared common features, they are regarded as belonging to an emerging group of primary meningeal SMARCB1‐deficient tumors, not described to date. In order to facilitate the identification and characterization of these tumors, we recommend SMARCB1 immunohistochemistry for primary meningeal tumors which are difficult to classify, especially if immunopositive for EMA and CD34.This article is protected by copyright.

Review: Induced pluripotent stem cell models of frontotemporal dementia
The increasing prevalence of dementia in the ageing population combined with the lack of treatments and the burden on national health care systems globally make dementia a public health priority. Despite the plethora of important research findings published over the past two decades, the mechanisms underlying dementia are still poorly understood and the progress in pharmacological interventions is limited. Recent advances in cellular reprogramming and genome engineering technologies offer an unprecedented new paradigm in disease modeling. Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) have enabled the study of patient‐derived ne...

Microinfarcts in an older population ‐representative brain donor cohort (MRC CFAS): Prevalence, relation to dementia and mobility, and implications for the evaluation of cerebral Small Vessel Disease
ConclusionCortical (dementia) and subcortical microinfarcts (impaired mobility) are related to diverse clinical outcomes. Optimal pathological assessment of significant SVD in brain ageing is achieved based on white matter lesions, lacunes and microinfarcts and may not require subjective assessment of the extent and severity of arteriosclerosis.This article is protected by copyright.

Progression of alpha ‐synuclein pathology in multiple system atrophy of the cerebellar type
ConclusionsOur findings indicate that cerebellar subcortical white matter and cerebellar brainstem projections are likely the earliest foci of α‐syn pathology in MSA‐C, followed by involvement of more widespread regions of the CNS and neurodegeneration with disease progression.This article is protected by copyright.
