TL;DR: The measurement of high-performance plasma amyloid-β biomarkers by immunoprecipitation coupled with mass spectrometry demonstrates the potential clinical utility of plasma biomarkers in predicting brain amyloids-β burden at an individual level and shows cost–benefit and scalability advantages over current techniques.

TL;DR: A new diagnostic indicator of FDG PET scan abnormality, based on age-adjusted t statistics and an automated voxel-based procedure, is presented and validated in a large data set comprising 110 normal controls and 395 patients with probable Alzheimer's disease (AD) that were studied in eight participating centers as discussed by the authors.

TL;DR: Results confirm that the left amygdala plays a general role in the interpretation of eye gaze direction, and that the activity of the right amygdala of the subject increases when another individual's gaze is directed towards him, which suggests that the human amygdala play a role in reading social signals from the face.

TL;DR: The results suggest that the right temporal pole is activated during the discrimination of familiar faces and scenes from unfamiliar ones, and is probably involved in the recognition of familiar objects.

TL;DR: A large part of the somatosensory homunculus was reproduced quantitatively on an individual brain MRI using magnetoencephalography, which is compatible with the bizarre proportion of the Homunculus with a large tongue, lips, and fingers.
