Continuum (Minneap Minn). 2023;29(2):501-518. doi:10.1212/CON.0000000000001232 Cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) is one of the most common clinical conditions that a neuroimager will encounter. CSVD is associated with an increased risk of clinical ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke, silent infarcts, and cognitive decline and dementia. It has well-defined radiographic features and various clinical presentations. Despite its increasing prevalence with the aging population, few specific therapies exist to decrease its progr ..read more

J Neurosurg. 2023;138(2):306-317. doi:10.3171/2022.5.JNS22411 Magnetic resonance–guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) thalamotomy ameliorates symptoms in patients with essential tremor (ET). How this treatment affects canonical brain networks has not been elucidated. The purpose of this study was to clarify changes of brain networks after MRgFUS thalamotomy in essential tremor patients by analyzing resting-state networks ..read more

Curr Opin Neurol. 2022;35(6):708-717. doi:10.1097/WCO.0000000000001124 A comprehensive physical examination aids in localizing (preganglionic or postganglionic) and characterizing the severity of injury (partial or complete). This is crucial to prognostication and determining the optimal reconstructive strategy. A preganglionic injury indicates an avulsion of the rootlets from the spinal cord, precludes the use of that spinal nerve as a donor for nerve grafting, and limits the reconstructive options avail ..read more
