Reason this briefing matters for mental health professionals: It highlights a mechanistic link between immune activation in the brain and amyloid clearance, which may inform understanding of neuroinflammatory processes involved in cognitive decline and dementia. Awareness of how biological targets influence neural health can illuminate potential avenues for interdisciplinary collaboration and referral strategies when addressing memory-related concerns in clients.

Happy to announce that our #JOSS paper on #MotilA is now published 😊

MotilA is an #OpenSource #Python pipeline for quantifying microglial fine-process motility in 3D/4D in vivo multiphoton #imaging data. It is specifically designed for reproducible, batch-scale analysis.

The paper describes the methodology, implementation, and scope of the software:
