Traditional methods often struggle with handling large volumes of MRI data, leading to limitations in both efficiency and reliability. This study aims to develop a robust approach for brain tumor detection and classification by leveraging computer vision and deep learning techniques, addressing the limitations of conventional methods. The proposed approach utilizes the dual boundary-sensitive transformation (DBST) algorithm for precise tumor edge detection, whereas the scale-invariant feature transform (SIFT) method provides robust and invariant features for classification. Additionally, deep learning models, DarkNet53 and DenseNet201, are employed to enhance classification performance by learning complex patterns from a large dataset of multichannel MRI images. The dataset used in this study is publicly available, ensuring reproducibility and accessibility of the research. The results show a specificity of 98%, indicating the model's strong ability to correctly identify negative cases, and a sensitivity of 99%, demonstrating its effectiveness in identifying positive cases. This performance significantly surpasses traditional methods and is competitive with state-of-the-art (SOTA) techniques in the field.

Moreover, behavioral tests revealed that neonatal LPS injection resulted in anxiety- and depressive-like behavior and that NLRP3 deficiency restrained this effect.
