Brain-age models with lower age prediction accuracy have higher sensitivity for disease detection There is increasing interest in developing imaging-based models to characterize 'brain-age', but how accurate are these for predicting neurological disease? This study shows that simpler models, which...

🔥CAN YOU MAP BLOOD FLOW in the brain from resting state fMRI?
🔥Ingenious new method [1] learns from jointly collected ASL (arterial spin labeling), SPECT, and rsFMRI to infer blood flow from fMRI
💡Cool as you can now estimate perfusion from 10000s of scans, of people who don't have ASL or SPECT 👇

“The most important element of a paper is the title—think of the ratio of the number of titles you read to the number of papers you read.”

“The abstract is, for most readers, the only part of the paper that will be read.”
