We present a neuroanatomical comparison with stereotaxic precision correlating modern diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), MRI data and classical neuroanatomical textbooks. The neuroatlas compiled by J. and A. Dejerine deserves emphasis for its role of a bridge between precise classical neuroanatomy techniques with modern neuroimaging methods. We present its utility in identifying major white matter tracts of the brain in concert with DTI in the horizontal-plane axis to elucidate axonal directionality. The axonal directionality of DTI is necessary for understanding white matter connectivity in the brain. Many DTI studies publish findings in selective regions of the brain, and our study is mainly devoted to comparing our images with data from Dejerine for the entire brain.

Objectives: To investigate glymphatic function in idiopathic normal pressure hydrocephalus (iNPH) using the diffusion tensor image analysis along the perivascular space (DTI-ALPS) method and to explore the associations of ALPS index with ventriculomegaly and white matter hyperintensities (WMH).
Materials And Methods: This study included 41 patients with iNPH and 40 age- and sex-matched normal controls (NCs). All participants underwent brain MRI.

In contrast to blood-oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) functional MRI (fMRI), which relies on changes in blood flow and oxygenation levels to infer brain activity, diffusion fMRI (DfMRI) investigates brain dynamics by monitoring alterations in the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) of water. These ADC changes may arise from fluctuations in neuronal morphology, providing a distinctive perspective on neural activity. The potential of ADC as an fMRI contrast (ADC-fMRI) lies in its capacity to reveal neural activity independently of neurovascular coupling, thus yielding complementary insights into brain function.

Apathy is a common neuropsychiatric symptom following stroke, characterized by reduced goal-directed behavior. The reward decision network (RDN), which plays a crucial role in regulating goal-directed behaviors, is closely associated with apathy. However, the relationship between poststroke apathy (PSA) and RDN dysfunction remains unclear due to apathy heterogeneity, the confounding effect of depression and individual variability in lesion impacts.

Background: Tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) deficiencies comprise a group of five neurometabolic disorders caused by five genetic defects responsible for BH4 biosynthesis and regeneration. Their global prevalence remains unknown, and variance exists among different countries.
Aims: To describe clinical, biochemical, molecular genetic data and follow-up of patients with BH4 deficiency seen in Tawam Hospital.
