Imagine the hypothalamus as a master switchboard in your brain, controlling not only basic functions like hunger and thirst, but also determining what you learn and remember. While it was previously believed that the lateral hypothalamus only regulated feeding behaviors, recent research has shown that it plays a critical role in learning about food-related cues. […]
Parkinson’s disease is like a complex dance, with each patient taking their own unique steps. A new study followed a multiethnic, multisite cohort of PD patients to understand the progression and outcomes of the disease. By using trajectory modeling, researchers identified three distinct groups based on disease progression: a slow and benign group, a moderate […]
Decoding information from high-dimensional neuroimaging data can be challenging due to the complexity and large number of features. In this study, researchers introduce a Python package called ‘oFVSD’ that uses a forward variable selection (FVS) algorithm and hyper-parameter optimization to identify the best features for classification and regression models. The FVS algorithm evaluates the goodness-of-fit […]
