A team of researchers from the Universitat Politècnica de València (UPV) and the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) has developed the world's most advanced software to study the human cerebellum using high-resolution NMR images.
Called DeepCeres, this software will help in the research and diagnosis of diseases such as ALS, schizophrenia, autism and Alzheimer's, among others. The work of the Spanish and French researchers has been published in the prestigious journal NeuroImage.
The DeepCeres software is capable of measuring 27 structures of the cerebellum. And it stands out above all for improving the precision of segmentation compared to what is achieved with the methods used to date, thanks mainly to the application of different artificial intelligence tools.
According to the developers of DeepCeres, the precision in the volumetric quantification of the cerebellum will help in the study of neurological pathologies such as cerebellar ataxia, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis or psychiatric illnesses such as schizophrenia and autism.
