summaryMRI is playing an increasingly important role in the study of neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s disease, frontotemporal dementia, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, and Parkinson’s disease, delineating the structural and functional alterations associated with these conditions. Advanced MRI techniques are of special interest for their potential to characterize the signature of each neurodegenerative condition and aid both the diagnostic process and the monitoring of disease progression. All these techniques allow us to investigate the different features of neurodegeneration. This aspect will become crucial when disease- modifying (personalized) therapies will be established.
