Imaging Study Implicates Reactive Astrocyte-Neuron Interaction in Alzheimer’s Cognitive Decline
PET imaging with 11C-acetate and 18F-FDG was used to visualize the reactive astrocyte-induced acetate hypermetabolism and associated neuronal glucose hypometabolism in brains with neuroinflammation and Alzheimer’s Disease.

Spinal Cord Abnormalities Correlate With Disease Severity in FA
Results show utility of MRI as biomarker in tracking disease progression
Damage to the spinal dorsal column seems developmental whereas damage of the corticospinal tract may be both developmental and degenerative in origin.
