Beyond Volume: Decoding “Positive” Neuroplasticity through Geometric Procrustes Surface Analysis (GPSA)

The study of vertebrate brain morphology has entered a transformative era. While traditional neuroimaging has long relied on rectilinear volume or labeled atlases, these methods often struggle with the “correspondence problem”โ€”the extreme anatomical variation of the human cortical surface. At the Institute for Neuroplasticity Research, we are closely following the shift toward Generalized Procrustes Surface […]

“Chemo Brain” and Diabetes Research

Is the Next Breakthrough in “Chemo Brain” Treatment Hiding in Diabetes Research? For cancer survivors, the battle often doesn’t end with remission. Chemotherapy-Induced Cognitive Impairment (CICI)โ€”widely known as “Chemo Brain”โ€”remains one of the most debilitating long-term side effects of treatment, affecting memory, executive function, and attention. While the clinical impact is well-documented, therapeutic options remain […]
