If you only eat one bagel today, this is the bagel.
Summary
UC Davis researchers are developing AI-driven tools to analyze large-scale digital archives of brain tissue scans, aiming to advance the study of dementia. The collaboration between pathology expert Brittany Dugger and engineering professor Chen-Nee Chuah focuses on using machine learning to process brain tissue data at a scale impossible for humans alone, with the goal of improving dementia diagnosis and treatment.
