This is a page for introducing antery and vein in human brain lateral ventricles.
It's impressive when I see the picture of numerous veins on the ependyma of the ventricle.

Self-supervised learning models have shown imprresive performance in brain decoding. But it is becoming a core question who can relate "prediction" to "explanation".

Huntington's disease successfully treated for first time One of the most devastating diseases finally has a treatment that could transform lives, tearful doctors tell BBC

This is a fantastic health breakthrough.

At first glance this seems rather important.

Nasal👃 breathe airflow 💨 tells indications on both physiological states and cognitive traits.
So can we do the similar estimation from BOLD-fMRI by breathe artifacts?

Stimulus features are encoded widely around the brain, and we should jump out of the visual cortex💻.

Addressing artifactual bias in large, automated MRI analyses of brain development - Nature Neuroscience As large-scale neurodevelopmental MRI studies gain prominence, the authors identify tradeoffs between sample size and quality control that can dramatically affect results, and they evaluate a range of...

Analysis of >11,000 pediatric MRI scans suggests that suboptimal image quality may introduce bias in cortical thickness and area estimates in over half the cases 🤔🧐

Biological sex matters in brain aging Every cell in the body has a biological sex. The expansion of aging research to investigate female- and male-specific biology heralds a major advance for human health. Unraveling and harnessing mechanistic etiologies of sex differences may reveal new diagnostics and therapeutics for the aging brain.
