    Abstract The description of group-level, genotype- and phenotype-associated imaging traits is academically important, but the practical demands of clinical neurology centre on the accurate classification of individual patients into clinically relevant diagnostic, prognostic and phenotypic categories. Similarly, pharmaceutical trials require the precision stratification of participants based on quantitative measures. A single-centre study was conducted with a uniform imaging protocol to test the accuracy of an artificial neural network classification scheme on a cohort of 378 participants composed of patients with ALS, healthy subjects and disease controls. A comprehensive panel of cerebral volumetric measures, cortical indices and white matter integrity values were systematically retrieved from each participant and fed into a multilayer perceptron model. Data were partitioned into training and testing and receiver-operating characteristic curves were generated for the three study-groups. Area under the curve values were 0.930 for patients with ALS, 0.958 for disease controls, and 0.931 for healthy controls relying on all input imaging variables. The ranking of variables by classification importance revealed that white matter metrics were far more relevant than grey matter indices to classify single subjects. The model was further tested in a subset of patients scanned within 6 weeks of their diagnosis and an AUC of 0.915 was achieved. Our study indicates that individual subjects may be accurately categorised into diagnostic groups in an observer-independent classification framework based on multiparametric, spatially registered radiology data. The development and validation of viable computational models to interpret single imaging datasets are urgently required for a variety of clinical and clinical trial applications.

    Abstract The majority of radiology studies in neurodegenerative conditions infer group-level imaging traits from group comparisons. While this strategy is helpful to define phenotype-specific imaging signatures for academic use, the meaningful interpretation of single scans of individual subjects is more important in everyday clinical practice. Accordingly, we present a computational method to evaluate individual subject diffusion tensor data to highlight white matter integrity alterations. Fifty white matter tracts were quantitatively evaluated in 132 patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) with respect to normative values from 100 healthy subjects. Fractional anisotropy and radial diffusivity alterations were assessed individually in each patient. The approach was validated against standard tract-based spatial statistics and further scrutinised by the assessment of 78 additional data sets with a blinded diagnosis. Our z-score-based approach readily detected white matter degeneration in individual ALS patients and helped to categorise single subjects with a 'blinded diagnosis' as likely 'ALS' or 'control'. The group-level inferences from the z-score-based approach were analogous to the standard TBSS output maps. The benefit of the z-score-based strategy is that it enables the interpretation of single DTI datasets as well as the comparison of study groups. Outputs can be summarised either visually by highlighting the affected tracts, or, listing the affected tracts in a text file with reference to normative data, making it particularly useful for clinical applications. While individual diffusion data cannot be visually appraised, our approach provides a viable framework for single-subject imaging data interpretation.

    Abstract Introduction: While the imaging signatures of frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) phenotypes and genotypes are well-characterized based on group-level descriptive analyses, the meaningful interpretation of single MRI scans remains challenging. Single-subject MRI classification frameworks rely on complex computational models and large training datasets to categorize individual patients into diagnostic subgroups based on distinguishing imaging features. Reliable individual subject data interpretation is hugely important in the clinical setting to expedite the diagnosis and classify individuals into relevant prognostic categories.
    Areas covered: This article reviews (1) single-subject MRI classification strategies in symptomatic and pre-symptomatic FTLD, (2) practical clinical implications, and (3) the limitations of current single-subject data interpretation models.
    Expert opinion: Classification studies in FTLD have demonstrated the feasibility of categorizing individual subjects into diagnostic groups based on multiparametric imaging data. Preliminary data indicate that pre-symptomatic FTLD mutation carriers may also be reliably distinguished from controls. Despite momentous advances in the field, significant further improvements are needed before these models can be developed into viable clinical applications.

    Abstract Background: The cerebellum integrates a multitude of motor and cognitive processes through ample spinal and supratentorial projections. Despite emerging evidence of adaptive neuroplasticity, cerebellar reorganisation in response to severe spinal insult early in life is poorly characterised. The objective of this study is the systematic characterisation of cerebellar integrity metrics in a cohort of adult poliomyelitis survivors as a template condition for longstanding lower motor neuron injury.
    Methods: A total of 143 participants, comprising 43 adult poliomyelitis survivors and 100 age- and sex-matched healthy controls were recruited in a prospective, single-centre neuroimaging study with a uniform structural and diffusion imaging protocol. First, standard voxelwise grey and white matter analyses were performed. Then, the cerebellum was anatomically segmented into lobules, and cortical thickness and grey matter volumes were evaluated in each lobule. The integrity of cerebellar peduncles was also assessed based on their diffusivity profiles.
    Results: Compared to healthy controls, poliomyelitis survivors exhibited greater cortical thickness in lobules I, II, and III in the right hemisphere and in lobules VIIIA and VIIIB bilaterally. A trend of higher cortical thickness was also detected lobules I, II and III in the left hemisphere. Enhanced cerebellar peduncle organisation was detected, particularly within the middle cerebellar peduncles.
    Conclusions: Increased cerebellar integrity measures in poliomyelitis survivors are primarily identified in lobules associated with sensorimotor functions. The identified pattern of cerebellar reorganisation may represent compensatory changes in response to severe lower motor neuron injury in childhood and ensuing motor disability.

    Abstract Background: While amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is widely recognised as a multi-network disorder with extensive frontotemporal and cerebellar involvement, sensory dysfunction is relatively under evaluated. Subtle sensory deficits have been sporadically reported, but there is a prevailing notion that sensory pathways may be relatively spared in ALS.
    Methods: In a prospective neuroimaging study we have systematically evaluated cerebral grey and white matter structures involved in the processing, relaying and mediation of sensory information. Twenty two
    Results: Widespread cortical alterations were observed in C9+ ALS including both primary and secondary somatosensory regions. In C9- ALS, cortical thickness reductions were observed in the postcentral gyrus. Thalamic nuclei relaying somatosensory information as well as the medial and lateral geniculate nuclei exhibited volume reductions. Diffusivity indices revealed posterior thalamic radiation pathology and a trend of left medial lemniscus degeneration was also observed in C9- ALS (
    Conclusions: In contrast to the overwhelming focus on motor system degeneration and frontotemporal dysfunction in recent research studies, our findings confirm that sensory circuits are also affected in ALS. The involvement of somatosensory, auditory and visual pathways in ALS may have important clinical ramifications which are easily overlooked in the context of unremitting motor decline. Subtle sensory deficits may exacerbate mobility, contribute to fall risk, impair dexterity, and worsen bulbar dysfunction, therefore comprehensive sensory testing should also be performed as part of the clinical assessments in ALS.
