We report the atypical MRI features and histopathological findings of a desmoplastic infantile ganglioglioma in an 8-year-old girl. The mass was predominantly solid with a large, solid, non-enhancing exophytic component. The adjacent brain showed cortical necrosis and white-matter gliosis, suggesting earlier hypoxia.

Background: Recent studies highlight distinct patterns of cortical atrophy between amnestic (typical) and non-amnestic (atypical, with subtypes: behavioural, dysexecutive, logopenic and visuospatial) clinical phenotypes of Alzheimer's disease (AD). The current study aimed to assess regional MRI patterns of cortical atrophy across AD phenotypes, and their association with amyloid-beta (Aβ), phosphorylated tau (pTau), axonal degeneration (NfL) and microvascular deterioration (COLIV).
Method: Postmortem In-situ 3DT1 3T-MRI data was collected for 33 AD (17 typical, 16 atypical) and 16 control brain donors.

Background: Alzheimer disease (AD) involves neurodegenerative disorders with progressive cognitive decline. Atypical presentations like Posterior Cortical Atrophy (PCA) and Logopenic Variant Primary Progressive Aphasia (lvPPA) exhibit distinct clinical profiles. PCA affects the posterior parietal and occipital lobes, causing visuospatial deficits, while lvPPA manifests as language impairment in the temporoparietal region.

Background: Because of clinically overlapping parkinsonian motor symptoms, it is hard to diagnose a specific disease in atypical parkinsonism or differentiate Parkinson's disease (PD) from atypical parkinsonism. Herein, we report the clinicopathological mismatching of an autopsy-confirmed PSP in a patient clinically diagnosed with PD.
Method Clinical History: We reviewed the brief clinical history of a 70-year-old man and neurologic examination.

Background: APP duplications are a rare form of familial Alzheimer's disease (AD). Research has shown variability in clinical presentation with full duplications. There is limited information on those with partial duplications, especially in underrepresented minorities.

Background: Affective cognition and emotion processing is impaired in amnestic Alzheimer's disease (AD), although less is known about atypical (AT) variants such as logopenic variant primary progressive aphasia (lvPPA) and posterior cortical atrophy (PCA). The affective blindsight pathway bypasses V1 via the superior colliculus-pulvinar route to activate the amygdala in cases of occipital lesioning and may explain maintenance of emotion identification and visual information processing in non-amnestic AD despite atrophy in visuospatial regions. We sought to characterize functional connectivity from key regions along the affective blindsight pathway in a clinically heterogeneous AD cohort.
