Major Depressive Disorder (MDD) is like a fog that obscures people’s happiness, affecting their quality of life. Just as identifying shapes within a dense fog can be tedious and time-consuming, manually identifying MDD from brain structural magnetic resonance imaging (sMRI) images is laborious due to the lack of clear indicators. Scientists have developed automated methods […]
Just like the human brain, the aging process affects the structural and metabolic properties of rat brains. In this study, researchers examined the topological characteristics of individual brain metabolic networks in rats to better understand how age impacts these networks. Using a method called Jensen-Shannon Divergence Similarity Estimation (JSSE), they constructed individual metabolic networks for […]
