Abstract:
Narcolepsy is a disabling neurological disorder characterised by impaired sleep-wake regulation. Previous diffusion MRI studies have identified white matter differences beyond the hypothalamus, providing a rationale for investigating the distributed structural pathways that may contribute to the clinical manifestations of narcolepsy. Diffusion MRI offers a non-invasive means of probing white matter organisation in vivo. This presentation will discuss a methodological framework for investigating white matter microstructure in narcolepsy, with emphasis on quantitative diffusion MRI and fibre-specific assessment. The broader aim is to clarify how distributed white matter alterations relate to disrupted sleep-wake regulation and variation in clinical presentation. By connecting microstructural imaging with clinical phenotypes, this work may advance understanding of narcolepsy and inform future studies of disease mechanisms and treatment-related changes.
