Kazimuddin et al. used ultra-high field MRI to assess paramagnetic rim lesions (PRL) at multiple sclerosis diagnosis. PRL can be found in about half of newly diagnosed patients and associates with traits of more severe disease. Read at

Sarah Jonker et al. studied essential tremor patientsusing FDG-PET; changes in brain metabolism further support the cerebello-thalamo-cortical circuit in the network disorder, but point also towards altered sensorimotor integration. Read at
