Network disruption in post-stroke depressive symptoms: a Bayesian multicohort study

Depressive symptoms were most strongly associated with right frontal lesions and right-dominant structural disconnection in frontal cortico-subcortical circuits. Lesion associations were found in clusters in the right hemisphere including cortical (frontal, insular, parietal) and subcortical regions (striatum, amygdala, hippocampus) and adjacent white matter.

Prediction of First and Recurrent Falls in Parkinson's Disease

Clinical measures may identify next-year fall risk in PD with moderate discrimination, although performance attenuated in external validation. Exploratory biomarkers provided modest incremental value in development but not in external validation.

Internet Intervention for Functional Seizures: A Randomized Clinical Trial

Results of this randomized clinical trial show that in adults with FS, a self-guided internet-based intervention reduced seizure frequency and improved anxiety relative to standard care, offering a scalable option for patients unable to access specialist psychological care. Functional seizures (FS) are a common and disabling presentation in neurology clinics, but evidence-based treatments are difficult to access in Australia and in many regions globally.
