Germinal matrix-intraventricular hemorrhage (GM-IVH) is one of the most common complications associated with prematurity. It may lead to life-lasting cognitive, sensory, motor and behavioral impairments and it has no successful treatment. Nevertheless, it has been suggested that early behavioral intervention programs may have beneficial effects in premature infants. Accordingly, we have analyzed the effects on neuronal damage and behavioral impairment of early exposure to an enriched environment (EE) of a murine model of GM-IVH. GM-IVH was induced by intraventricular collagenase administration

Understanding the principles behind how the cerebral cortex processes information requires identifying and characterizing its areal and laminar cytoarchitecture. In this context, deep learning offers a promising avenue to address these challenges by streamlining manual segmentation and offering observer-independent insights into cortical structure.We propose a deep-learning model for segmenting the cerebral cortex into areas and layers. We tested this solution on a dataset of one-dimensional cortical profiles derived from a non-human primate - common marmoset monkey (Callithrix jacchus) brain.
