Article Abstract
Introduction: Methods for standardizing positron emission tomography (PET) indices of β-amyloid (Aβ) (Centiloid [CL]) and tau (CenTauRz, CTRz) burden facilitates direct comparisons across radiotracers and supports in vivo biologic staging per the AT(N) (Aβ [A], tau [T], and neurodegeneration [N]) framework. In lieu of post mortem examination, visual interpretation is the most sensitive indicator of these pathologies. Here, we compared the performance of analytic and visual methods of AT(N) staging.
Methods: A total of 149 participants were imaged using Pittsburgh Compound B ([C]PiB), [F]flortaucipir, and 3T magnetic resonance (MR) to compare visual and analytic methods of biologic staging of AD in terms of AT(N) status.
Results: CL quantification showed excellent agreement with visual Aβ staging, whereas T status derived from the CTRz pipeline was less sensitive to the heterogeneity of tau pathologic presentations indicated visually. Poor concordance was observed between visual and analytic N status.
Discussion: A combination of visual and analytic information is optimal for accurate biologic staging of AD.
Highlights: The Centiloid method showed strong agreement with visual assessment for β-amyloid (Aβ) status. The CenTauR method was less sensitive than visual assessment for tau status. Heterogeneous tau deposition complicates tau standardization methods. Cortical thickness might not be the optimal index of neurodegeneration.

While non-destructive in-line monitoring at manufacturing sites is essential for safe distribution cycles of pharmaceuticals, efforts are still insufficient to develop analytical systems for detailed dynamic visualisation of foreign substances and material composition in target pills. Although spectroscopies, expected towards pharma testing, have faced technical challenges in in-line setups for bulky equipment housing, this work demonstrates compact dynamic photo-monitoring systems by selectively extracting informative irradiation-wavelengths from comprehensive optical references of target pills. This work develops a non-destructive in-line dynamic inspection system for pharma agent pills with carbon nanotube (CNT) photo-thermoelectric imagers and the associated ultrabroadband sub-terahertz (THz)-infrared (IR) multi-wavelength monitoring.

Wildlife poaching and the trade of wildlife items is a large area of illegal business that is alleged to be worth hundreds of billions of dollars. However, wildlife forensics remains an understudied field even though the consequences of poaching are catastrophic and can lead to the spread of zoonotic disease and a decrease in biodiversity. Even though fingermark analysis is cost-effective, easy to deploy in the field and has a long history of securing criminal convictions in court, wildlife forensics is mainly limited to DNA-based techniques.

Neural tracking, the alignment of brain activity with the temporal dynamics of sensory input, is a crucial mechanism underlying perception, attention, and cognition. While this concept has gained prominence in research on speech, music, and visual processing, its definition and methodological approaches remain heterogeneous. This paper critically examines neural tracking from both theoretical and methodological perspectives, highlighting how its interpretation varies across studies.

Understanding how athletes mentally simulate and anticipate actions provides key insights into experience-driven brain plasticity. While previous studies have investigated motor imagery and action anticipation separately, little is known about how their underlying neural mechanisms converge or diverge in expert performers. This study conducted a meta-analysis using activation likelihood estimation (ALE) and meta-analytic connectivity modeling (MACM) to compare brain activation patterns between athletes and non-athletes across both tasks.
