How do we make sense of very brief events?
@gianfrancof.bsky.social, @valeriacentanino.bsky.social & @dbueti.bsky.social show, in a unifying framework, the multiple stages and mechanisms the brain uses to build time perception.

A new MRI protocol can scan the human brain and its venous network in under 7 minutes at 0.35 mm iso. resolution, marking it as a potential tool for diagnosing cerebrovascular diseases and monitoring neurodegeneration.

It's the second paper in the same day with mesoscale/UHF/vascular imaging in the title (check out also the new paper of @ofgulban.bsky.social and Dimo Ivanov in Science Advances www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...). A sign of things to come

We observe a convergent interlobular gradient in cortical thickness and vascular-density. This heterogeneity seems driven by the granular layer cytoarchitecture when comparing to 3D histology. Still work to be done though to further improve SNR and segmentation fidelity.
