TL;DR

These findings provide robust evidence that multiscale MRI profiling can identify FCD signatures and contribute to in-vivo subtyping and the novel use of myeloarchitecture profiling and contextualization with macro-scale brain gradients provides new avenues to understand intracortical alterations and the embedding of FCD lesions into broader organizational patterns.

Topographic-prognostic gradients of cortical hypometabolism in temporal lobe epilepsy

A hypometabolic gradient is identified in TLE, which covaries with cytoarchitectonic organization, microstructural changes, and hippocampal-neocortical interactions and provides a biologically grounded framework for precise surgical planning, emphasizing that targeting severe hypometabolism may optimize prognosis.

Mega-analysis of Structural Brain Imaging in Functional Neurological Disorder.

This large mega-analysis of brain structural morphometrics derived from T1-weighed MRI scans from fifteen international research groups suggests subtle morphometric differences, particularly in prefrontal and motor regions, may represent predisposing vulnerabilities, compensatory mechanisms, or FND-specific alterations...

Associations of Cortical and Subcortical White Matter Morphometric Abnormalities With Clinical and Genetic Findings in STXBP1 Encephalopathy

Cortical dyslamination is suggested as the architectural substrate for the abnormal morphometric parameters and reduced surface areas in patients with STXBP1 encephalopathy, suggesting cortical dyslamination as the architectural substrate for the abnormal morphometric parameters and reduced surface areas.

Cortical and subcortical morphological alterations in de novo GBA-related Parkinson’s disease

GBA-PD patients showed distinct patterns of cortical thickness and volume thinning, as well as amygdala subregional atrophy, which may contribute to future exploratory phenotypic characterization or patient stratification, but validation in larger independent cohorts is required.

Structural and Quantitative MRI Signal Features in Pediatric Focal Cortical Dysplasia: Clinical Relevance

Findings indicate that expert assessment and quantitative MRI capture complementary but non-identical aspects of FCD pathology, and suggest that future automated detection models should combine quantitative features with multiple layers of radiological expertise.
