Regional brain atrophy in gray and white matter is associated with cognitive impairment in Myotonic Dystrophy type 1

ConclusionsIn this study, we describe the structural brain signatures that delineate the involvement of the CNS in DM1. We show that specific sensory and multi-sensory — as well as frontal cortical areas — display potential vulnerability associated with the hypothesized neurodegenerative nature of DM1 brain abnormalities.
