Irregular and reversible tongue atrophy can occur in anti-AChR antibody–positive myasthenia gravis, although the exact pathophysiologic mechanism remains unclear. Learn more in this #NeuroImage article: hubs.la/Q032WKYB0

neurology.org/doi/10.1212/NX… Proud to share Stefano Masciocchi latest work on PLP1 antibodies in demyelinating diseases. PLP1 abs are mainly found in patients with non MS diseases with combined central and peripheral demyelination, but also in rare seronegative NMOSD

What’s the source for MS tremor? Typically we think of posterior fossa lesions, but it’s likely more complex. Here we present a series of patients with unilateral tremor and critical lesions in the motor strip. authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S22…

Is light sensitivity a symptom of myasthenia gravis? Does it impact QoL for MG patients? Our latest study, just published in Muscle & Nerve, explores these questions. Check it out here onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

Delighted to share Dinoto et al study on late onset MOGAD (50 yrs or more) ➡️ Accounts for 25% of MOGAD ➡️ Optic neuritis dominates & often misdiagnosed as ischemic (NAION or temporal arteritis) ➡️ Outcomes favorable & similar to other age groups 👇 neurology.org/doi/10.1212/WN…

📢 NEW RESEARCH: how the body’s own defenses can mistakenly turn against the brain in CASPR2-antibody encephalitis 🧠 The findings potentially open the door to more targeted treatments. Find out more 👉 tinyurl.com/2tftusd4 Bo Sun

The AINI Summer School on Neuroimaging in Neuroimmunology that took place in the beautiful Siena (July, 17-18) was definitely a success! An interactive approach to the use of conventional and advanced MRI in autoimmune encephalitis, MS, NMOSD and MOGAD! 💣💣💣

Happy to share Syc-Mazurek et al study of attack & remission MRI in #MOGAD vs #MS ➡️ Resolution of 1 lesion predicts #MOGAD and disappearance of ≥2 lesions separates #MOGAD completely from #MS ➡️ MRI 1 yr post #MOGAD brain/spine attack may aid diagnosis👇jnnp.bmj.com/content/early/…

🇮🇹 I progressi nel neuroimaging migliorano diagnosi e trattamenti precoci. Il 17-18 luglio 2025, 32 giovani medici si sono riuniti a Siena per un workshop su tecniche convenzionali e avanzate di RM. TSF ha sostenuto l’evento con 5 borse. Congratulazioni a tutti!
