Applications such as disaster management enormously benefit from rapid availability of satellite observations. Traditionally, data analysis is performed on the ground after being transferred-downlinked-to a ground station. Constraints on the downlink capabilities, both in terms of data volume and timing, therefore heavily affect the response delay of any downstream application.

- Over 2,000 individuals' MRI data was used in an international challenge where 146 teams submitted algorithms to improve prediction accuracy, achieving an AUC of ~0.80 with the best models.
- Functional MRI was found to be more significant than anatomical MRI for predictions, and larger sample sizes improved accuracy; however, challenges with overfitting and lower accuracy when tested on new datasets highlighted the fragility of the biomarkers developed.
Brain trimming through defined neuroanatomical landmarks is recommended to obtain consistent sections in rat toxicity studies. In this article, we describe a matrix-guided trimming protocol that uses channels to reproduce coronal levels of anatomical landmarks. Both setup phase and validation study were performed on Han Wistar male rats (Crl:WI(Han)), 10-week-old, with bodyweight of 298 ± 29 (SD) g, using a matrix (ASI-Instruments(®), Houston, TX) fitted for brains of rats with 200 to 400 g bodyweight.

The aim of the present study was to assess if the levels of neurofilament proteins are changed in the ventral tegmental area by chronic treatment with nicotine. Immunoreactivity for NF-68, NF-160 and NF-200 was determined using NR4, BF10 and RT97 antibodies, respectively.
