A Copernican Approach to Brain Advancement: The Paradigm of Allostatic Orchestration
The objective of this presentation is to explore historical, scientific, interventional, and other differences between the two paradigms, so that innovators, researchers, practitioners, policy-makers, patients, end-users, and others can gain clarity with respect to both the explicit and implicit assumptions associated with brain advancement agendas of any kind. Over the course of three decades, a series of brain-centric, evolution-inspired insights have been articulated with increasing refinement, as principles of allostasis (Sterling and Eyer, 1988; Sterling, 2004, 2012, 2014). Allostasis recognizes that the role of the ...

RFDCR: Automated brain lesion segmentation using cascaded random forests with dense conditional random fields
Publication date: Available online 11 February 2020Source: NeuroImageAuthor(s): Gaoxiang Chen, Qun Li, Fuqian Shi, Islem Rekik, Li Wang, Zhifang PanSegmentation of brain lesions from magnetic resonance images (MRI) is an important step for disease diagnosis, surgical planning, radiotherapy and chemotherapy. However, due to noise, motion, and partial volume effects, automated segmentation of lesions from MRI is still a challenging task. In this paper, we propose a two-stage supervised learning framework for automatic brain lesion segmentation. Specifically, in the first stage, intensity-based statistical features, template-...

MMP‐9 in translation: from molecule to brain physiology, pathology, and therapy
This article is part of the 60th Anniversary special issue. MMP‐9, through cleavage of specific target proteins, plays a major role in synaptic plasticity and neuroinflammation, and by those virtues contributes to brain physiology and a host of neurological and psychiatric disorders. This article is part of the 60th Anniversary special issue.
