    Abstract Purpose of review: Recent advances in the machine learning field, especially in deep learning, provide the opportunity for automated, detailed, and unbiased analysis of motor behavior. Although there has not yet been wide use of these techniques in the motor rehabilitation field, they have great potential. In this review, I describe how the current state of machine learning can be applied to 3D kinematic analysis, and how this will have an impact on neurorehabilitation.
    Recent findings: Applications of deep learning methods, in the form of convolutional neural networks, have been revolutionary for image analysis such as face recognition and object detection in images, exceeding human level performance. Recent studies have shown applicability of these deep learning approaches to human posture and movement classification. It is to be expected that portable stereo-camera systems will bring 3D pose estimation into the clinical setting and allow the assessment of movement quality in response to interventions. Advances in machine learning can help automate the process of obtaining 3D kinematics of human movements and to identify/classify patterns of movement.

    Abstract Understanding behavior is the first step to truly understanding neural mechanisms in the brain that drive it. Traditional behavioral analysis methods often do not capture the richness inherent to the natural behavior. Here, we provide detailed step-by-step instructions with visualizations of our recent methodology, DeepBehavior. The DeepBehavior toolbox uses deep learning frameworks built with convolutional neural networks to rapidly process and analyze behavioral videos. This protocol demonstrates three different frameworks for single object detection, multiple object detection, and three-dimensional (3D) human joint pose tracking. These frameworks return cartesian coordinates of the object of interest for each frame of the behavior video. Data collected from the DeepBehavior toolbox contain much more detail than traditional behavior analysis methods and provides detailed insights to the behavior dynamics. DeepBehavior quantifies behavior tasks in a robust, automated, and precise way. Following the identification of behavior, post-processing code is provided to extract information and visualizations from the behavioral videos.

    Abstract The stability of tight junctions (TJs) between endothelial cells (ECs) is essential to maintain blood-brain barrier (BBB) function in the healthy brain. Following ischemic stroke, TJ strand dismantlement due to protein degradation leads to BBB dysfunction, yet the mechanisms driving this process are poorly understood. Here, we show that endothelial-specific ablation of Rab7a, a small GTPase that regulates endolysosomal protein degradation, reduces stroke-induced TJ strand disassembly resulting in decreased paracellular BBB permeability and improved neuronal outcomes. Two pro-inflammatory cytokines, TNFα and IL1β, but not glucose and oxygen deprivation, induce Rab7a activation via Ccz1 in brain ECs

    Abstract Background: Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) for dystonia is usually targeted to the globus pallidus internus (GPi), though stimulation of the ventral-intermediate nucleus of the thalamus (Vim) can be an effective treatment for phasic components of dystonia including tremor. We report on a patient who developed a syndrome of bilateral upper limb postural and action tremor and progressive cervical dystonia with both phasic and tonic components which were responsive to Vim DBS. We characterize and quantify this effect using markerless-3D-kinematics combined with accelerometry.
    Methods: Stereo videography was used to record our subject in 3D. The DeepBehavior toolbox was applied to obtain timeseries of joint position for kinematic analysis [1]. Accelerometry was performed simultaneously for comparison with prior literature.
    Results: Bilateral Vim DBS improved both dystonic tremor magnitude and tonic posturing. DBS of the hemisphere contralateral to the direction of dystonic head rotation (left Vim) had greater efficacy. Assessment of tremor magnitude by 3D-kinematics was concordant with accelerometry and was able to quantify tonic dystonic posturing.
    Discussion: In this case, Vim DBS treated both cervical dystonic tremor and dystonic posturing. Markerless-3D-kinematics should be further studied as a method of quantifying and characterizing tremor and dystonia.

    Abstract Stroke is the leading cause of adult disability in the United States. Because post-stroke inflammation is a critical determinant of damage and recovery after stroke, understanding the interplay between the immune system and the brain after stroke holds much promise for therapeutic intervention. An understudied, but important aspect of this interplay is the role of meninges that surround the brain. All blood vessels travel through the meningeal space before entering the brain parenchyma, making the meninges ideally located to act as an immune gatekeeper for the underlying parenchyma. Emerging evidence suggests that the actions of immune cells resident in the meninges are essential for executing this gatekeeper function. Mast cells (MCs), best known as proinflammatory effector cells, are one of the long-term resident immune cells in the meninges. Here, we discuss recent findings in the literature regarding the role of MCs located in the meningeal space and stroke pathology. We review the latest advances in mouse models to investigate the roles of MCs and MC-derived products

    Abstract Detailed behavioral analysis is key to understanding the brain-behavior relationship. Here, we present deep learning-based methods for analysis of behavior imaging data in mice and humans. Specifically, we use three different convolutional neural network architectures and five different behavior tasks in mice and humans and provide detailed instructions for rapid implementation of these methods for the neuroscience community. We provide examples of three dimensional (3D) kinematic analysis in the food pellet reaching task in mice, three-chamber test in mice, social interaction test in freely moving mice with simultaneous miniscope calcium imaging, and 3D kinematic analysis of two upper extremity movements in humans (reaching and alternating pronation/supination). We demonstrate that the transfer learning approach accelerates the training of the network when using images from these types of behavior video recordings. We also provide code for post-processing of the data after initial analysis with deep learning. Our methods expand the repertoire of available tools using deep learning for behavior analysis by providing detailed instructions on implementation, applications in several behavior tests, and post-processing methods and annotated code for detailed behavior analysis. Moreover, our methods in human motor behavior can be used in the clinic to assess motor function during recovery after an injury such as stroke.

    Abstract INTRODUCTION: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of the euthyroid nodular gouiter on the anxiety and depression. METHODS: 50 male and 50 female patients between ages of 18-50 who diagnosed euthyroid nodular gouiter at least 6 months were included in our study (group 2). 20 male and 20 female healthy patients were included as control group (group 1). The patients who had psychiatric problems and chronic comorbidities were excluded. The BDS ( Beck Depression scale) and BAS (Beck anxiety scale) tests were used as compasion of two groups. Student's T-test was performed for parametric data A p level of <0,05 was taken as statistically significant. RESULTS: Comparing between unhealthy and control groups: BDS test and BAS test were significantly higher in group 2 male patients than group 1 male patients, p <0.019 and p <0.005 respectively. Group 2 female patients showed significantly higher results in BDS and BAS tests than group 1 female patients, p <0.001 and p <0.001 respectively. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: The result of this study showed that euthyroid nodular gouiter had negative effects on anxiety and depression and our article is the first article in literature on this issue.

    Abstract Lymphangiomatosis of the spleen with diffuse lymphangiomatosis of the bone is extremely rare and there is no consensus about management at present. Here, the authors report a child presenting initially with back pain and diagnosed as lymphangiomatosis on several sites throughout the bony structures and the spleen. The patient is in a stable state at the end of 8 years without any treatment. The authors also discuss the follow-up option that may be considered as a strategy for management.
