Article Abstract
Genetically encoded fluorescent sensors continue to be developed and improved. If they could be expressed across multiple cortical areas in non-human primates, it would be possible to measure a variety of spatiotemporal dynamics of primate-specific cortical activity. Here, we develop an Automated Robotic Virus injection System (ARViS) for broad expression of a biosensor. ARViS consists of two technologies: image recognition of vasculature structures on the cortical surface to determine multiple injection sites without hitting them, and robotic control of micropipette insertion perpendicular to the cortical surface with 50 μm precision. In mouse cortex, ARViS sequentially injected virus solution into 100 sites over a duration of 100 min with a bleeding probability of only 0.1% per site. Furthermore, ARViS successfully achieved 266-site injections over the frontoparietal cortex of a female common marmoset. We demonstrate one-photon and two-photon calcium imaging in the marmoset frontoparietal cortex, illustrating the effective expression of biosensors delivered by ARViS.

Speech brain-computer interfaces (BCIs) offer a solution for those affected by speech impairments by decoding brain activity into speech. Current neuroprosthetics focus on the motor cortex, which might not be suitable for all patient populations. We investigate potential alternative targets for a speech BCI across a brain-wide distribution.

Objective: In open cranial procedures, intraoperative brain shift can degrade the accuracy of surgical navigation on the basis of preoperative MR (pMR) images as soon as the cortical surface is exposed. The aim of this study was to develop a fully automated image updating system to address brain shift at the start of open cranial surgery and to evaluate its accuracy and efficiency.
Methods: This study included patients undergoing open cranial procedures at a single center.

Interindividual variability in these circuits may manifest, at least in part, as individual differences in impulsivity at both normative and clinically significant levels. Impulsivity reflects a tendency towards rapid, unplanned reactions to internal or external stimuli without considering potential negative consequences coupled with difficulty inhibiting responses.

To parse neurostructural heterogeneity and assess for the presence of anatomically-derived subtypes, we applied a data-driven method, similarity network fusion (SNF), to structural neuroimaging data in a broad cohort of individuals with psychosis (schizophrenia spectrum disorders (SSD) n=280; bipolar disorder with psychotic features (BD) n=101). SNF identified two transdiagnostic subtypes in psychosis (subtype 1: n=158 SSD, n=75 BD; subtype 2: n=122 SSD, n=26 BD) that exhibited divergent patterns of abnormal cortical surface area and subcortical volumes.
