Voxel based morphometry in inherited prion diseases demonstrates regionally specific atrophy in the basal ganglia, cerebellum and<br />

posterior cortical areas but no significant differences in the white matter compared to controls. Voxel-based analysis of magnetisation<br />

transfer ratio (MTR) demonstrates decreased MTR in the same grey matter regions but for the same threshold (p
