The specific effect of TDP-43 pathology on grey matter volume in individuals without frontotemporal lobar degeneration is unclear. Bejanin et al. reveal a major and independent contribution of TDP-43 to neurodegeneration and shed light on the regional distribution of TDP-43-related atrophy in older...
