Very proud of @anikawuestefeld.bsky.social for finishing her PhD thesis on the medial temporal lobe in aging and dementia! Following Swedish tradition, the thesis is now nailed to the wall.... last step before the defense next week. I have no doubt she will nail this too!
youtu.be/gpQ19OPUm34 New integration with nnInteractive (github.com/MIC-DKFZ/nnI...) in ITK-SNAP 4.4.0-alpha2 (itksnap.org) lets you turn scribbles into 3D segmentations in seconds. All thanks to an amazing new model from Fabian Isensee and colleagues at @helmholtzimaging.bsky.social!

Very important article on Down syndrome and AD by Buehner et al.(shorturl.at/ETFUz) highlighting the non-linear trajectories of structural changes in MTL subregions in patients with Down syndrome & AD and the utility of MTL structural markers for clinical trials and prediction of decline.
Medial temporal lobe atrophy in Down syndrome along the Alzheimer’s disease continuum
Buehner et al. describe progressive structural changes in the medial temporal lobe in association with Alzheimer's disease pathology in 259 adults with Dow

Why academia is sleepwalking into self-destruction. My editorial @brain1878.bsky.social If you agree with the sentiments please repost. It's important for all our sakes to stop the madness academic.oup.com/brain/articl...
If judge don’t stop, NIH employees review new/ongoing projects: Cat 1: solely support DEI activities. CUT Cat 2: partially support. Renegotiate or CUT Cat 3: don’t support but some DEI language. Cont./cut language in app/progress reports. Cat 4: don’t support any. Cont & DEI not in reports.
