To advance the study of coma & consciousness, we created a FreeSurfer algorithm that automatically identifies brainstem nuclei in MRI scans. preprint:medrxiv.org/content/10.110… code:surfer.nmr.mgh.harvard.edu/fswiki/AANSegm… Mark Olchanyi Juan Eugenio Iglesias MGH Martinos Center @MGH_RI MGH Center for Neurotechnology and Neurorecovery MIT IMES

We mapped the subcortical hubs of brain networks that sustain consciousness to provide therapeutic targets for patients with severe brain injuries. preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… hub maps: github.com/ComaRecoveryLa… Morgan Cambareri Jian Li (Andrew) Andreas Horn Laura Lewis

Ten years (!) after submitting the grant, NextBrain is published in nature . NextBrain is a brain atlas built from 3D histology that enables segmentation of 3D brain scans (MRI, Hip-CT, even photos!) into hundreds of regions. Article, data, code, videos, & more in this 🧵 (1/3)
