Ohio University College of Arts and Sciences Professor Dr. Mitchell Day has been awarded a significant grant of $453,000 from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to explore the neurobiological mechanisms behind hearing loss and its impact on sound localization. This innovative research aims to shed light on how hearing impairment affects auditory perception, particularly in complex environments.

Researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis have used AI tools to describe three sub-types of Chiari type-1, which will help guide clinicians to make the most effective treatment decisions for their patients. Chiari type-1 malformation is a condition in which the cerebellum extends beyond the gap in the skull where it connects to the spinal cord.

A study by researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai has identified strategies for using large language models (LLMs), a type of artificial intelligence (AI), in health systems while maintaining cost efficiency and performance. The findings, published in the November 18 online issue of npj Digital Medicine, provide insights into how health systems can leverage advanced AI tools to automate tasks efficiently, saving time and reducing operational costs while ensuring these models remain reliable even under high task loads.
