Applications of Non-Standard analysis in Topoi to Mathematical Neurosciences and Artificial Intelligence: Infons, Energons, Receptons (I) by Ileana Ruxandra Badea, Carmen Elena Mocanu, Florin F. Nichita, Ovidiu Păsărescu

“…The purpose of this paper is to promote new methods in mathematical modeling inspired by neuroscience—that is consciousness and subconsciousness—with an eye toward artificial intelligence as parts of the global brain. As a mathematical model, we propose topoi and their non-standard enlargements as models, due to the fact that their logic corresponds well to human thinking. …”

Structural brain changes in patients with rheumatoid arthritis by Wartolowska, K, Hough, MG, Wordsworth, P, Tracey, I

“…Conclusions: These results suggest that there are global brain differences associated with RA. However, it is not clear whether these changes represent an accelerated rate of atrophy as observed in fibromyalgia, the effect of systemic inflammation and vasculopathy similar to lupus erythrematosus or rathe…”

Abstract 015: Pioneering NaF‐PET/CT Imaging for Early Detection of Atherosclerosis: Potential Implications for Neurointerventional Surgery by Eric M Teichner, Robert C Subtirelu, Arjun B Ashok, Yvonne Su, Victoria A Anderson, Milo Writer, Omar Al‐Daoud, Miraziz Ismoilov, Chitra Parikh, William Y Raynor, Sahithi Talasila, Poul F Høilund‐Carlsen, Abass Alavi, Mona‐Elisabeth Revheim

“…Conversely, FDG‐PET/CT imaging revealed low FDG uptake in the carotid arteries, with an average SUVmean of 0.66 for both right and left carotids and a z‐score of −2.32. Analysis of global brain metabolism demonstrated decreased FDG uptake detected by FDG‐PET/CT (z‐score = ‐2.32). …”
