Neuroinflammation is one of the key pathological events involved in the progression of brain damage caused by cerebral ischemia. Metabolism of arachidonic acid through cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes is known to be actively involved in the…
Spatial learning across many species is impaired by lesions in the hippocampus, a subcortical brain structure whose cellular composition changes substantially over its 5 to 6 week lifetime from mainly excitatory neurons during development…
Graphene has the potential to make a very significant impact on society, with important applications in the biomedical field. The possibility to engineer graphene-based medical devices at the neuronal interface is of particular interest,…
Purpose: This study aimed to use deep learning-based dose prediction to assess head and neck (HN) plan quality and identify suboptimal plans. Methods: A total of 245 VMAT HN plans were created using RapidPlan knowledge-based planning (KBP).…
Background: Quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) of the brain is an advanced MRI technique for assessing tissue characteristics based on magnetic susceptibility, which varies with the composition of the tissue, such as iron, calcium,…
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder characterized by motor dysfunction and abnormal neural oscillations. These symptoms can be modulated through electrical stimulation. Traditional neural activity analysis in PD has…
Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a neurodegenerative disorder and the most common cause of dementia in the elderly. The extracellular accumulation of amyloid-$\beta$ (A$\beta$) in senile plaques is a principal event in the pathogenesis and there…
Exposures to a hypomagnetic field can affect biological processes. Recently, it has been observed that hypomagnetic field exposure can adversely affect adult hippocampal neurogenesis and hippocampus-dependent cognition in mice. In the same…
Previous research has shown a clear relationship between sleep and memory, examining the impact of sleep deprivation on key cognitive processes over very short durations or in special populations. Here, we show, in a longitudinal 16 week…
To understand multifactorial conditions such as Alzheimers disease (AD) we need brain signatures that predict the impact of multiple pathologies and their interactions. To help uncover the relationships between brain circuits and cognitive…
A salient feature of prefrontal cortex organization is the vast diversity of cell types that support the temporal integration of events required for sculpting future responses. A major obstacle in understanding the routing of information…
Demographic shifts have led to an increase in mild cognitive impairment (MCI), and this study investigates the effects of cognitive training (CT) and reminiscence therapy (RT) conducted by humans or socially assistive robots (SARs) on…
Personalized precision radiation therapy requires more than simple classification, it demands the identification of prognostic, spatially informative features and the ability to adapt treatment based on individual response. This study…
Significance: Imaging neural activity in myelinated tissue using optical coherence tomography (OCT) creates new possibilities for functional imaging in the peripheral and central nervous systems. Aim: To investigate changes in OCT images in…
Recent research has shown there can be detrimental neurological effects of short- and long-term exposure to contact sports. In the present study, metabolomic profiling was combined with inflammatory miRNA quantification, computational…
While Transformer architecture excel at modeling long-range dependencies contributing to its widespread adoption in vision tasks the quadratic complexity of softmax-based attention mechanisms imposes a major bottleneck, particularly when…
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is the most common adult motor neuron disease, causing motor neuron degeneration, muscle atrophy, paralysis, and death. Despite this degenerative process, a stable hypermetabolic state has been observed…
Aim: To determine the long-term efficacy of Katona therapy and early rehabilitation of infants with moderate-to-severe perinatal brain damage (PBD). Methods: Thirty-two participants were recruited (7-to-16 years) and divided into 3 groups:…
Accurate survival prediction in head and neck cancer (HNC) is essential for guiding clinical decision-making and optimizing treatment strategies. Traditional models, such as Cox proportional hazards, have been widely used but are limited in…
According to WHO[1], since the 1970s, diagnosis of melanoma skin cancer has been more frequent. However, if detected early, the 5-year survival rate for melanoma can increase to 99 percent. In this regard, skin lesion segmentation can be…
