Explainable AI for time series prediction in economic mental health analysis by Ying Yang, Ying Yang, Lifen Wen, Li Li

“…Traditional deep learning approaches, while highly accurate, often operate as black boxes, making them less suitable for high-stakes domains such as mental health forecasting, where explainability is critical for trust and decision-making. Existing post-hoc explainability methods provide only partial insights, limiting their practical application in sensitive domains like mental health analytics.MethodsTo address these challenges, we propose a novel framework that integrates explainability directly within the time series prediction process, combining both intrinsic and post-hoc interpretability techniques. …”

Investigating the use of cuprizone and lysolecithin to model demyelination ex vivo in sagittal rat brain organotypic slice cultures by Brooke Hawker, Bronwen Connor, Amy McCaughey-Chapman

“…We have previously reported the ability to generate sagittal organotypic brain slice cultures, allowing us to investigate the anterior-to-posterior integrity of the corpus callosum during demyelination and remyelination processes. To extend our sagittal organotypic brain slice culture model, this study compares the ability for two common demyelinating agents, cuprizone (CPZ) or lysolecithin (LPC), to induce demyelination of the corpus callosum.MethodsRat brain sagittal organotypic slice cultures were generated with clear visualization of the corpus callosum and treated either with CPZ (1 mM) or LPC (0.5 mg/mL).ResultsWe demonstrate that CPZ treatment induces acute demyelination followed by endogenous remyelination 1-week post-treatment. …”
