Tau PET Imaging May Help Identify People with Pre-symptomatic Alzheimer’s Disease
Brain changes associated with Alzheimer’s disease can now be studied in living people. Mass General researchers imaged cognitively normal people who are destined to develop AD due to a rare genetic mutation. Their goal: to discover how soon brain changes are present before symptoms begin and how soon preventive treatments could be initiated.

MRI-defined Acute Ischemic Brain Lesions Can Predict Long-term Outcome After Endovascular Thrombectomy for LVO Stroke
Robert Regenhardt, MD, PhD, and Natalia S. Rost, MD, MPH, of the Department of Neurology, and colleagues found that among patients with large vessel occlusion stroke, ischemic lesions identified by MRI after endovascular thrombectomy were associated with both acute stroke severity and 90-day functional outcome.

Functional MRI Shows How Parkinson's Disease Disrupts Neuronal Circuits
Radiology researchers Silvia Basaia and Jorge Sepulcre, MD, PhD, DMSc, and colleagues characterized large-scale brain propagation pathways associated with α-synuclein neural protein spreading and identified different patterns of functional connectivity disruptions in patients at different stages of Parkinson's disease.
