Article Synopsis
  • Atraumatic localized convexity subarachnoid hemorrhage (cSAH) is a rare type of bleeding in the brain that can be caused by issues like internal carotid artery dissection (ICAD), particularly when associated with a condition known as Eagle syndrome, characterized by an elongated styloid process (ESP).
  • A case involving a 47-year-old woman revealed cSAH along with ICAD and an ESP, leading to the diagnosis of Eagle syndrome; despite severe headaches and imaging challenges, the causes were identified and treated conservatively.
  • The findings underscore the importance of thorough investigation in cSAH cases, as recognizing conditions like Eagle syndrome can lead to better patient outcomes and prevent

Deep learning is a powerful tool for neural decoding, broadly applied to systems neuroscience and clinical studies. Interpretable and transparent models that can explain neural decoding for intended behaviors are crucial to identifying essential features of deep learning decoders in brain activity. In this study, we examine the performance of deep learning to classify mouse behavioral states from mesoscopic cortex-wide calcium imaging data.
