TL;DR: This study assesses the state-of-the-art machine learning methods used for brain tumor image analysis in mpMRI scans, during the last seven instances of the International Brain Tumor Segmentation (BraTS) challenge, i.e., 2012-2018, and investigates the challenge of identifying the best ML algorithms for each of these tasks.

TL;DR: It is reported that tau-knockout mice develop age-dependent brain atrophy, iron accumulation and SN neuronal loss, with concomitant cognitive deficits and parkinsonism, which suggests the loss of soluble tau could contribute to toxic neuronal iron accumulation in Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease and tauopathies, and that it can be rescued pharmacologically.

TL;DR: Evidence of widespread dysconnectivity in white-matter connectional architecture in a large sample of patients with schizophrenia is presented, pointing to a multifaceted pathophysiology in schizophrenia encompassing axonal as well as putative synaptic mechanisms.

TL;DR: The results contribute evidence that alphanumeric characters presented in different orientations are recruited during mental rotation and add to a body of evidence which suggests that the right posterior parietal lobe is important for carrying out visuospatial transformations.

TL;DR: Preterm birth is associated with regional cerebral tissue reductions, with the adverse pattern varying between risk factors, and degree of immaturity was not related to regional brain structure among preterm infants.
