Focusing on AD only, out of context of all degenerative disease of intelligence is one of the major errors IMO. Intelligence is energetically expensive and FDG-PET provides a landscape for all dementias, and connects to the clinic to computational neuroscience: bsky.app/profile/davi...

Every week in my neurology clinic, I see people lost in the search for a diagnosis.
Sometimes, what’s causing their dementia symptoms is treatable — but was missed for years.
We just published a new AI tool to change that. Here's why it matters🧵

If we want to catch reversible cases, personalize care, and speed up new treatments — we need smarter tools.
Tools that understand dementia with nuance.
We built one. And it’s working.

It is grounded in the Global Functional State Space (GFSS) — a neuroscience-informed model of brain function and dysfunction.That is why we call it StateViewer.It connects clinical care to systems neuroscience, paving the way for new science and new cures. #NeuroAI www.nature.com/articles/s41...

StateViewer isn’t just a model.
It’s part of a shift:
🧠 From opaque to interpretable
🧠 From limited access to scalable tools
🧠 From "maybe it’s dementia" to "here’s what kind and what’s next"
Clinical AI built by neurologists, for patients.

From our
@GreenJournal
paper (July 2025):
📈 Sensitivity = 0.89
📊 AUROC = 0.93
✅ 9 syndromes detected
📉 Reader errors reduced 3.3×
🔬 External validation in ADNI
🧠 Interpretable and scalable

This also matters for clinical trials.
🧬 Disease mechanisms don’t map 1:1 to syndromes
🎯 Precision targeting requires deeper models
⚡️ Cleaner cohorts = faster progress
StateViewer captures this complexity and makes it actionable.

It’s been trained on 3,600+ real patient cases.
Externally validated in the ADNI dataset.
And it doesn’t just give answers — it explains them.
It shows how a new case relates to past ones.
Transparent, interpretable, clinical-grade AI.

In a blinded study, clinicians using StateViewer were 3.3× more likely to make the correct diagnosis than those using today’s standard tools.
Even the most experienced doctors improved with it.

Here’s what makes StateViewer different:
✅ Needs only 1 input: a brain FDG-PET scan
✅Returns multiple diagnoses with statistics
✅Visual maps to explain “why”
✅Supports (not replaces) the physician
It’s made for real-world use and it’s already used in the real-world.

It’s called StateViewer.
A clinical AI tool that reads brain FDG-PET scans and recognizes patterns of 14 different dementia syndromes — like a specialist would. (only nine were published)
But it’s built to augment, not replace, the clinician.

That’s why we’re building scalable solutions.
So that even where no specialist is present, expertise is.
Inside Mayo Clinic, we built a platform to bring precision diagnosis anywhere.
