RDNWhole-body images of mice that resolve nerves, immune cells, and other tissue structures were processed by a deep-learning model, which identified damage to the trigeminal nerve in obese mice. Obese mice showed consistent changes in sensory responses. Similar damage was found in human tissue.

Obesity May Quietly Damage Nerves Throughout the Body
A team of scientists in Germany has developed a new artificial intelligence system that can scan an entire mouse body in incredible detail. Using this technology, researchers uncovered hidden damage caused by obesity, including widespread inflammation and unexpected injury to important facial nerves. The discovery could help doctors better understand why obesity increases the risk […]
