Machine learning for neurodegenerative disorders : advancements and applications
Explores the application of machine learning to the understanding, early diagnosis, and management of neurodegenerative disorders. With a specific focus on its role in ongoing clinical trials, the book covers essential topics such as data collection, pre-processing, feature extraction, model development, and validation techniques. It delves into the applications of neuroimaging techniques like magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), and positron emission tomography (PET) in the diagnosis and understanding of neurodegenerative disorders. Additionally, the book examines various machine-learning algorithms employed for biomarker discovery in neurodegenerative disorders. It highlights the role of neuroinformatics and big data analysis in advancing the understanding and management of neurodegenerative disorders. Furthermore, the book reviews future prospects and presents the ethical considerations and regulatory challenges associated with implementing machine learning approaches in the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of neurodegenerative disorders.
Clinical Functional MRI : Presurgical Functional Neuroimaging
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has contributed significantly to progress in neuroscience by permitting noninvasive imaging of the "human brain at work" under physiological conditions. Within clinical neuroimaging, fMRI is opening up a new diagnostic field by measuring and visualizing brain function. However, fMRI is not yet a standard diagnostic imaging procedure. This textbook is devoted to preoperative fMRI in patients with brain tumors and epilepsies, which are the most well-established clinical applications. By localizing and lateralizing specific brain functions in individual patients, as well as epileptogenic zones, fMRI facilitates the selection of a safe treatment and the planning and performance of function-preserving neurosurgery.
Biomarkers for alzheimer’s disease drug development
