This study proposes a novel deep learning architecture, the Dual-Feature Cross-Fusion Network (DF-CFN), for the automated classification of brain tumors using MRI data. The model integrates ConvNeXt for capturing global contextual features and a shallow CNN combined with Feature Channel Attention Network (FcaNet) for extracting local features. These are fused through a cross-feature fusion mechanism for improved classification. The model is trained and validated using a Kaggle dataset encompassing four tumor classes (glioma, meningioma, pituitary and non-tumor), achieving an accuracy of 99.33%. Its generalizability is further confirmed using the FigShare dataset, yielding 99.22% accuracy. Comparative analyses with baseline and recent models validate the superiority of DF-CFN in terms of precision and robustness.

Neurological function monitoring is a medical technique used to evaluate and monitor the functional status of the nervous system.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>This monitoring involves the assessment of various aspects of the nervous system, including but not limited to nerve conduction velocity, neuromuscular function, electroencephalographic activity, and sensory nerve transmission. Neurological function monitoring has broad clinical applications and can be used to diagnose and monitor many neurological disorders, helping physicians understand patients' neurological functional status and guide treatment plans. During the postoperative recovery process, neurological function monitoring can assist physicians in assessing the potential impact of surgery on the nervous system and monitor the recovery of patients' neurological function.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Studies have shown that neurological function monitoring holds promise in predicting neurological functional prognosis and interventions for patients with aortic dissection.</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>Therefore, the primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness and reliability of various intraoperative neurological monitoring techniques, neuroimaging examinations, and biomarkers in predicting and assessing postoperative neurological outcomes in patients undergoing AAAD surgery.</p>","PeriodicalId":14161,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Neuroscience","volume":" ","pages":"1059-1069"},"PeriodicalIF":1.5,"publicationDate":"2025-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140864396","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
