Brain magnetic resonance imaging findings in Mitochondrial Neurogastrointestinal Encephalomyopathy (MNGIE): A case-based review by Maria Veatriki Christodoulou, MD, MSc, Nikoletta Anagnostou, MD, MSc, Anastasia K. Zikou, MD, PhD

“…Brain MRI revealed lesions in the cerebral deep white matter and the pons, with sparing of the subcortical U-fibers and the cerebral cortex and no apparent involvement of the cerebellum, basal ganglia, and thalamus. A literature review led to the identification of 72 additional cases with MNGIE that underwent brain MRI. …”

A Cognitive-Behavioral Model of Apathy in Parkinson’s Disease by Olivia Plant, Annika Kienast, Daniel S. Drew, Elitsa D. Slavkova, Kinan Muhammed, Helen Kennerley, Masud Husain

“…Emerging lines of evidence conceptualize apathy as a reduction of motivation associated with disordered effort-based decision-making and dysfunction of distinct neural circuitry between the basal ganglia and medial prefrontal cortex. Here, we introduce a novel cognitive-behavioral framework that can inform a clinician’s conceptualization and treatment of apathy, using cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) techniques. …”
