Initial Phylotranscriptomic Confirmation of Homoplastic Evolution of the Conspicuous Coloration and Bufoniform Morphology of Pumpkin-Toadlets in the Genus Brachycephalus

The genus Brachycephalus is a fascinating group of miniaturized anurans from the Brazilian Atlantic Forest, comprising the conspicuous, brightly colored pumpkin-toadlets and the cryptic flea-toads.Pumpkin-toadlets are known to contain tetrodotoxins and therefore, their bright colors may perform an aposematic function.Previous studies based on a lim

The role of Long-Range Connectivity for the Characterization of the Functional-Anatomical Organization of the Cortex

This review focuses on the role of long-range connectivity as one element of brain structure that is of key importance for the functional-anatomical organization of the cortex.In this context, we discuss the putative guiding principles for mapping brain function and structure onto the cortical surface.Such mappings reveal a high-degree of functiona

Identifying the morphologic basis for radiomic features in distinguishing different Gleason grades of prostate cancer on MRI: Preliminary findings.

Translation of radiomics into the clinic may require 7gm pravana a more comprehensive understanding of the underlying morphologic tissue characteristics they reflect.In the context of prostate cancer (PCa), some studies have correlated gross histological measurements of gland lumen, epithelium, and nuclei with disease appearance on MRI.Quantitative
