Four new projects from the Allen Institute will use OpenScope (a National Institutes of Health BRAIN-funded resources) to explore visual processing, including motion detection and processing textures. Learn more from the Allen Institute: https://lnkd.in/ecrSdeZ2
About us
As part of the federal government’s National Institutes of Health (NIH), the National Eye Institute’s mission is to “conduct and support research, training, health information dissemination, and other programs with respect to blinding eye diseases, visual disorders, mechanisms of visual function, preservation of sight, and the special health problems and requirements of the blind.” https://nei.nih.gov/tools/stay_connected

Researchers at Durham University and Isfahan University of Medical Sciencessfahan University of Medical Sciences developed a technique to detect #MultipleSclerosis using advanced eye imaging. They trained computer models to recognize early signs of neurological damage linked to the disease. The advance may lead to earlier detection of multiple sclerosis.

Researchers at UCL Institute of Ophthalmology and Moorfields Eye Hospital, London identified potential biomarkers linked to progressive vision loss in #glaucoma. People with glaucoma tend to have impaired mitochondrial function and low levels of NAD (nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide), affecting the way their cells use energy. These findings could help doctors predict whether patients will continue to lose vision after glaucoma treatment. Read more in Nature Medicine: https://lnkd.in/dubSPbWA

Researchers at NLM and Weill Cornell Medicine put #AI to the test! Study results show that GPT-4V, an AI model, scored well on an image-based medical diagnostic quiz, but made mistakes in providing a reason for each diagnosis. These findings may help evaluate AI’s potential in clinical settings. More research is needed to understand how AI models could responsibly assist physicians in medical decision-making. https://loom.ly/gvvcPco
