Positional multi-length and mutual-attention network for epileptic seizure classification

The automatic classification of epilepsy electroencephalogram (EEG) signals plays a crucial role in diagnosing neurological diseases. Although promising results have been achieved by deep learning methods in this task, capturing the minute abnormal characteristics, contextual information, and long dependencies of EEG signals remains a challenge. To address this challenge, a positional multi-length and mutual-attention (PMM) […]

Cerebrospinal fluid level of proNGF as potential diagnostic biomarker in patients with frontotemporal dementia

IntroductionFrontotemporal dementia (FTD) is an extremely heterogeneous and complex neurodegenerative disease, exhibiting different phenotypes, genetic backgrounds, and pathological states. Due to these characteristics, and to the fact that clinical symptoms overlap with those of other neurodegenerative diseases or psychiatric disorders, the diagnosis based only on the clinical evaluation is very difficult. The currently used biomarkers […]
