This study develops a pipeline to generate synthetic MRI scans with anatomical variation and trains a U-Net model to segment the corpus callosum in marmosets, achieving high accuracy in both healthy and disease contexts.

The paper identifies thalamic commissures in primates, showing they connect cortex to contralateral thalamus and exist in both healthy and malformed human brains.

This study shows structural changes in thalamocortical connections in congenitally blind individuals, revealing a remapping of visual and temporal cortex connections.

This study shows that reduced lipoxin A4 levels in aging brains contribute to cognitive deficits in mice and humans, suggesting LXA4 as a potential therapeutic target for age-related dementia.

This study quantifies proteomic changes during human neurosphere differentiation, identifying upregulated axon guidance pathways and a functional assay for neurite outgrowth.

This study analyzes structural brain asymmetries in ADHD using 39 datasets, finding small effects that do not meet study-wide significance thresholds.

This study uses machine learning to show that structural brain anomalies in ADHD are similar in children and adults, supporting continuity of the disorder's pathophysiology.

This paper investigates whether saxitoxin from cyanobacteria worsens neural damage caused by Zika virus in Brazil, finding increased cell death and brain abnormalities in experimental models.
