White Matter Pathology in Corticobasal Syndrome

Disease Info
Oligodendrocyte inclusionsCoil-shaped inclusions and globose tangles within oligodendrocytes disrupt myelin production and maintenance[^1]
Axonal tau accumulationTau-laden axons show reduced axonal transport capacity, leading to Wallerian-like degeneration[^2]
Myelin breakdownSecondary demyelination accompanies axonal loss, compounding white matter signal changes on MRI
Pyramidal decussationAsymmetric involvement at the level of the internal capsule and cerebral peduncle
BrainstemSignificant reduction in fractional anisotropy (FA) within the basis pontis
Spinal cordCord atrophy correlates with clinical bradykinesia scores
GenuEarly involvement affecting interhemispheric prefrontal connections
BodyMid-callosal atrophy correlates with interlimb apraxia severity
IsthmusPosterior callosal damage associated with visuospatial deficits
Thalamic radiationsAnterior thalamic radiations show reduced FA, correlating with executive dysfunction
Striatal connectionsLoss of integrity in connections to the caudate and putamen
Frontostriatal loopsDisconnection contributes to bradykinesia and rigidity
