The intact brain emerges, then scroll approaches the cortical gyri and holds the camera while the folds thin and sulci widen. Medial cortex and both thalami remain visible alongside.

Method

The SuStaIn algorithm

The Subtype and Stage Inference (SuStaIn) algorithm is one of a new generation of machine-learning models for estimating an individual's prognosis in multiple sclerosis. Models like this aim to shorten clinical trials, especially in progressive MS, and so speed up drug development.
