The organizational principles that distinguish the human brain from other species have been a long-standing enigma in neuroscience. Focusing on the uniquely evolved human cortical layers 2 and 3, we computationally reconstruct the cortical architecture for mice and humans. We show that human pyramidal cells form highly complex networks, demonstrated by the increased number and simplex dimension compared to mice.

Article Synopsis
  • Transperineal laser ablation (TPLA) is a new minimally-invasive treatment for benign prostatic obstruction (BPO), showing promising results in the first 100 patients treated at a specific institution from April 2021 to July 2023.
  • The study measured postoperative changes using various questionnaires and health metrics, revealing significant improvements in patient symptoms and urinary function without major complications.
  • The findings suggest that TPLA is a safe and effective option for patients with lower urinary tract symptoms (LUTS) related to BPO, suitable for a diverse patient population.
