Classifying Dementia Using Local Binary Patterns from Different Regions in Magnetic Resonance Images by Ketil Oppedal, Trygve Eftestøl, Kjersti Engan, Mona K. Beyer, Dag Aarsland

“…We explored the use of 2D local binary pattern (LBP) extracted from FLAIR and T1 MR images of the brain combined with a Random Forest classifier in an attempt to discern patients with Alzheimer's disease (AD), Lewy body dementia (LBD), and normal controls (NC). …”

Lipidic folding pathway of α-Synuclein via a toxic oligomer by Vrinda Sant, Dirk Matthes, Hisham Mazal, Leif Antonschmidt, Franz Wieser, Kumar T. Movellan, Kai Xue, Evgeny Nimerovsky, Marianna Stampolaki, Magdeline Nathan, Dietmar Riedel, Stefan Becker, Vahid Sandoghdar, Bert L. de Groot, Christian Griesinger, Loren B. Andreas

“…This structural reconfiguration occurs in a conserved structural kernel shared by a vast number of αS-fibril polymorphs including extracted fibrils from Parkinson’s and Lewy Body Dementia patients. Consistent with reports of anti-parallel β-strands being a defining feature of toxic αS pre-fibrillar intermediates, I1 impacts viability of neuroblasts and disrupts cell membranes, resulting in an increased calcium influx. …”
