This detailed investigation of cortical variability in adults and neonates simply wouldn't have been possible @yrguo.bsky.social 's incredible patience and attention to detail. Cortical folding variability is considerable and outside primary folds doesn't align with functional borders.

Yourong Guo @yrguo.bsky.social · Mar 9

Disentangling natural cortical shape variability from clinically relevant features starts with better characterizing its scale across large populations. Here, we introduce MSM-HT to parse cortical folding variability into a representative family of distinct anatomical motifs. 3/9

Is it really so bad to allow people -especially those for whom English isn't their first language - to use an offline LLM to help them phrase their thoughts? We actually suggest similar in our scientific writing training for students.
