A probabilistic histological atlas of the human brain for MRI segmentation - Nature
NextBrain is an open source, probabilistic atlas of the entire human brain, assembled using artificial-intelligence-enabled registration and segmentation methods to reconstruct the multimodal serial histology of five human half brains, and which can be used to automatically segment brain MRI scans into 333 regions.

The BBC are accidentally running the subtitles to Mrs Marple over the Mercury Prize, and it’s rather wonderful. A few of lines could plausibly have been written by Jarvis.

#Neuroimaging crowd, hear me out! 👀
Did you ever want to add #EyeTracking to your #fMRI study but found it too much hassle? Got existing data you’d love to add eye tracking to?
Consider trying out *MR-based eye tracking* (i.e. inferring gaze from eye voxels)!
Here is a 🧵 with a few options!👇 1/9

One of the barriers to getting #palliativecare involved earlier in a patient’s care is the mistaken assumption that Palliative & Hospice are the same. While they share qualities, they are quite distinct. This Venn diagram is helpful!
