Several neuroimaging studies have also reported abnormalities in narcolepsy patients with or without cataplexy. However, there are conflicting results to differentiate them. In this study, we aimed to clarify the white matter changes in narcolepsy patients both… Read more »

There is increasing interest in treating people following a CIS in the hope that conversion to multiple sclerosis (MS) will be prevented and future disability reduced. So far, the prognostic value of MRI for disability following a CIS… Read more »
Male offspring born to mildly ZIKV-infected mice are at risk of developing neurocognitive disorders in adulthood.
Congenital Zika virus (ZIKV) syndrome may cause fetal microcephaly in ~1% of affected newborns. Here, we investigate whether the majority of clinically inapparent newborns might suffer from long-term health impairments not readily visible at birth. Infection of immunocompetent pregnant mice with high-dose ZIKV caused severe offspring phenotypes, such as fetal death, as expected. By contrast,… Read more »
