AI Uncovers Hidden Differences in Male and Female Brain Structures - Neuroscience News
Researchers use AI to reveal distinct cellular-level differences in the brains of men and women, focusing on white matter.
“Our findings provide a clearer picture of how a living, human brain is structured, which may in turn offer new insight into how many psychiatric and neurological disorders develop and why they can present differently in men and women,” said study senior author and neuroradiologist Yvonne Lui, MD. Lui, a professor and vice chair for research in the Department of Radiology at NYU Grossman School of Medicine, notes that previous studies of brain microstructure have largely relied on animal models and human tissue samples. The new study results, publishing online May 14 in the journal Scientific Reports, avoided that problem by using machine learning to analyze entire groups of images without asking the computer to inspect any specific spot, which helped to remove human biases, the authors say.
