This study identifies tegmental atrophy in iRBD using VBM and a novel brainstem atlas, linking atrophy in specific nuclei to autonomic dysfunction.

This study identifies a Txn1 mutation causing epilepsy and midbrain vacuolar degeneration in rats, with age-dependent neuronal and oligodendrocyte cell death and repair.

This study uses MRI to track CSF flow in juvenile mouse brains, finding increased permeability in specific regions until postnatal week 1.

The paper shows that microglia activation in the cerebellum increases neuronal excitability and leads to behavioral impairments, which can be reversed by inhibiting microglia or TNF-.
