The Virtual Mouse Brain: A Computational Neuroinformatics Platform to Study Whole Mouse Brain Dynamics

The study of the brain is rapidly progressing towards information collected over much of the brain. To help make sense of large scale dynamics in mouse brain, a “Virtual Mouse Brain” was created which enables the construction and simulation of individual mouse brains using diffusion MRI experiments. This simulation environment allows for the inclusion of various modalities (e.g. EEG, fMRI) and detailed connectomes from other data bases, such as that of the Allen Institute. The addition of this resource will facilitate the understanding of large scale dynamics in whole brain networks.

First New Drug for Liver Cancer in a Decade: Regorafenib

The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has expanded the indication for regorafenib ( Stivarga , Bayer) to now include treatment for patients with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) who have previously been treated with the drug sorafenib ( Nexavar , Bayer). Expansion of regorafenib's indication marks the first FDA-approved treatment for a liver cancer in almost a decade!
