Description
Yingyu Zhang and co-authors look at the back of the brain in people with a rare immune illness that harms the eyes and spine. The illness is called NMOSD, and most patients in the 2025 study were women. The team used three kinds of brain scans to study the cerebellum, the part that guides movement. They also tested how the scans relate to thinking skills.
The study compared scans from patients with scans from healthy adults of the same age. Patients showed loss of tissue in parts of the cerebellum and weaker links from it to other brain areas. Worse scan scores went with worse movement scores. Weaker links went with lower scores on a test of thinking and memory.
