Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai found that individuals with bulimia nervosa have structural differences in brain regions involved in reward and motivation, as well as social and sensory processing, and that more frequent binge eating is associated with more widespread differences in brain structure, according to research published today in JAMA Psychiatry.
Researchers designed an AI-driven system that could boost the safety and speed of minimally invasive surgical procedures by rapidly matching X-rays captured during surgery with a patient’s preoperative 3D medical scan.
