Auditory cortex and beyond: Deficits in congenital amusia [PDF]
Congenital amusia is a neuro-developmental disorder of music perception and production, with the observed deficits contrasting with the sophisticated music processing reported for the general population. Musical deficits within amusia have been hypothesized to arise from altered pitch processing, with impairments in pitch discrimination and, notably ...

Binary segmentation of medical images using implicit spline representations and deep learning [PDF]
We propose a novel approach to image segmentation based on combining implicit spline representations with deep convolutional neural networks. This is done by predicting the control points of a bivariate spline function whose zero-set represents the segmentation boundary.

An Alport syndrome boy with Van Wyk-Grumbach syndrome induced by prolonged untreated congenital hypothyroidism [PDF]
Alport syndrome (AS) is a rare genetic disorder that causes progressive nephritis and is more common among males. Studies have reported an association between thyroid antibodies and hypothyroidism in patients with AS, but the relevance of this ...
