Machine learning (ML) is increasingly used in cognitive, computational and clinical neuroscience. The reliable and efficient application of ML requires a sound understanding of its subtleties and limitations. Training ML models on datasets with imbalanced classes is a particularly common problem, ...

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a complex neurodegenerative disorder affecting regions such as the substantia nigra (SN), red nucleus (RN) and locus coeruleus (LC). Processing MRI data from patients with PD requires anatomical structural references for spatial normalization and structural segmentation. Extending our previous work, we present multi-contras ...

Background: Posterior cortical atrophy (PCA) is a clinico-radiological syndrome characterized by a progressive decline in visuospatial/visuoperceptual processing. PCA is accompanied by the impairment of other cognitive functions, including language abilities. Methods: The present study focused o ...

The brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) Val66Met polymorphism is functionally related to BDNF, and is associated with obesity and metabolic complications in adults, but limited research exists among adolescents. This study comparatively examined carriers and non-carriers of the BDNF Val66Met ...

Doppler ultrasound has become a standard method used to diagnose and grade vascular diseases and monitor their progression. Conventional focused-beam color Doppler imaging is routinely used in clinical practice, but suffers from inherent trade-offs between spatial, temporal and velocity resolution. Newer, plane-wave Doppler imaging offers rapid simultaneo ...

PURPOSE: Detecting breast lesions using ultrasound imaging is an important application of computer-aided diagnosis systems. Several automatic methods have been proposed for breast lesion detection and segmentation; however, due to the ultrasound artefacts, and to the complexity of lesion shapes and locations, lesion or tumor segmentation from ultrasound b ...
