Synopsis of recent research by authors named "Lukas Pirpamer"
- Lukas Pirpamer's recent research focuses on neurodegenerative diseases, particularly Parkinson's disease and multiple sclerosis, examining microstructural brain changes and their implications for disease progression and cognitive function through advanced imaging techniques such as diffusion MRI and magnetization transfer imaging (MTI).
- Findings highlight the importance of early identification of white matter alterations in Parkinson's disease and the relationship between myelin loss and repair in multiple sclerosis, linking these changes to clinical outcomes like motor and cognitive decline.
- Additionally, Pirpamer’s work has explored various factors contributing to fatigue in multiple sclerosis, the influence of arterial stiffness on cerebral health, and the heritability of iron accumulation in the brain, offering insights into the interplay between genetic, psychological, and imaging metrics in these conditions.
