Focal lesions of the human neocortex often cause drug-resistant epilepsy, yet surgical resection of the epileptogenic region has been proven as a successful strategy to control seizures in a carefully selected patient cohort. Continuous efforts to s...
The field of neuropathology, a subspecialty of pathology which studies the diseases affecting the nervous system, is experiencing significant changes due to advancements in artificial intelligence (AI). Traditionally reliant on histological methods a...
We present open-source tools for three-dimensional (3D) analysis of photographs of dissected slices of human brains, which are routinely acquired in brain banks but seldom used for quantitative analysis. Our tools can: (1) 3D reconstruct a volume fro...

Early diagnosis of dementia diseases, such as Alzheimer's disease, is difficult because of the time and resources needed to perform neuropsychological and pathological assessments. Given the increasing use of machine learning methods to evaluate neur...
Current diagnosis of glioma types requires combining both histological features and molecular characteristics, which is an expensive and time-consuming procedure. Determining the tumor types directly from whole-slide images (WSIs) is of great value f...
The pathological diagnosis of intracranial germinoma (IG), oligodendroglioma, and low-grade astrocytoma on intraoperative frozen section (IFS) and hematoxylin-eosin (HE)-staining section directly determines patients' treatment options, but it is a di...

Artificial intelligence (AI) research began in theoretical neurophysiology, and the resulting classical paper on the McCulloch-Pitts mathematical neuron was written in a psychiatry department almost 80 years ago. However, the application of AI in dig...
Pathologists can label pathologies differently, making it challenging to yield consistent assessments in the absence of one ground truth. To address this problem, we present a deep learning (DL) approach that draws on a cohort of experts, weighs each...
OBJECTIVE: The microscopic review of hematoxylin-eosin-stained images of focal cortical dysplasia type IIb and cortical tuber of tuberous sclerosis complex remains challenging. Both entities are distinct subtypes of human malformations of cortical de...

Accumulation of abnormal tau in neurofibrillary tangles (NFT) occurs in Alzheimer disease (AD) and a spectrum of tauopathies. These tauopathies have diverse and overlapping morphological phenotypes that obscure classification and quantitative assessm...
