Why Does the Noise in Our Ears Affect Our Balance?

Our body’s sense of balance relies on the vestibular system, which is responsible for sensing motion and spatial orientation. As we age, our balance tends to decline, leading to a higher risk of falls. Researchers studied how different elements of the vestibular system contribute to this age-related decline in balance. By measuring vestibular perceptual thresholds […]

Navigating the Maze of Microglial Morphometric Analysis

Exploring the analysis of microglial activation through morphometric data is like navigating a complex maze. It’s like trying to find your way through a labyrinth, with numerous paths and options available, but very little consistency in how to proceed. Researchers have been using different approaches, such as manual classification or constructing digital skeletons, to measure […]

Unveiling the Versatile Pipeline for Diffusion MRI Processing

Imagine you’re a mechanic and you have to tweak different car parts to make them work perfectly together. That’s exactly what scientists are doing with the new pipeline called versaFlow! It’s like a versatile toolbox that helps researchers process and analyze Diffusion Weighted Imaging (DWI) data from Non-Human Primates (NHP) in a more effective way. […]
