It reduced food intake by up to 50% and targets a different brain pathway. The researchers say it may offer an Ozempic-like treatment without common digestive side effects or significant muscle loss if human trials succeed.

Read the original →USC researchers developed a generative AI model that fills gaps in MRI-based maps of the brain's nerve pathways, using scans from nearly 2,000 adults. The model reconstructed missing nerve fiber information in two difficult-to-image regions and produced more complete maps of a major movement pathway. Its outputs are estimates, not recovered measurements, and it has not been evaluated for patient care.
