AI Summary
Researchers at the Mark and Mary Stevens Neuroimaging and Informatics Institute within USC’s Keck School of Medicine have created a noninvasive technique to assess how blood flow aligns with cellular organization across the layers of the living human brain. The method quantifies this relationship using a new metric called the cerebral blood flow–cell-body staining intensity similarity index (CCSI). Findings describing the CCSI were published in Nature Communications.
