A Systematic Review of Functional Brain Imaging Studies in Neurofibromatosis 1.
Brain imaging identifies specific dysfunction patterns in neurofibromatosis patients that could help track whether new treatments actually work.
This systematic review synthesizes functional brain imaging findings across NF1 studies, characterizing neurological dysfunction patterns that could serve as biomarkers for therapeutic monitoring. NF1 is a rare neurocutaneous disorder with significant neurological burden and unmet therapeutic need.
