Applications of tractometry in neurodegenerative diseases

COEX 

Neurodegenerative diseases are chronic, progressive disorders marked by gradual neuron loss in the central nervous system. The onset and progression of neurodegeneration are linked to disrupted neural circuits and white matter tracts, possibly involving demyelination and axonal degeneration. Tractometry is vital for detecting and quantifying these disruptions, aiding researchers, and clinicians in understanding affected pathways and their impact on patients' cognitive and motor deficits. This data is crucial for insights into disease pathophysiology. This presentation explores tractometry's utility in the pathological assessment of neurodegenerative diseases.
