PET strengthens case for cause of schizophrenia
By Wayne Forrest
By combining PET imaging with a radiotracer that binds to a specific protein, U.K. researchers may have validated the belief that dysfunctional neuronal connections in the brain are the underlying cause of schizophrenia, according to a study published on 14 January in Nature Communications.

MEG scanner gives boost to 3D functional brain imaging
By Abraham Kim
U.K. investigators are convinced that a prototype magnetoencephalography (MEG) scanner can capture clinically useful 3D brain images. They think the device provides a fine opportunity to study a wide range of neurological and mental health conditions, such as epilepsy and autism, in children.

PET/MRI illuminates cerebral vascular risk factors
By Wayne Forrest
PET/MRI scans show middle-aged adults with high vascular risk factors have less whole-brain volume by the time they reach their late 60s, but their lifestyle and physical characteristics do not influence beta-amyloid accumulation, according to a study published online on 4 November in JAMA Neurology.

MRI can shed light on cognitive decline after stroke
By Catherine Steffel
U.K. researchers have used a single MRI brain scan and an automated tissue segmentation tool to predict cognitive problems in patients with stroke-related small-vessel disease in the brain. Their work may establish useful image-based biomarkers for small-vessel disease severity.

German team casts doubt on PET's value in Alzheimer's
By Wayne Forrest
Researchers from a leading German facility have investigated whether a person's progression from mild cognitive impairment to Alzheimer's disease can be reliably predicted without PET imaging. Their study published online on 18 October in the Journal of Nuclear Medicine lists several nonimaging methods that can offer a better prognosis than the modality.
