21 -The classification and diagnosis of central nervous system (CNS) diseases have long been constrained by traditional phenotype-based approaches, which often fail to capture the complex pathophysiological mechanisms, molecular biomarkers, and neuroanatomical changes that drive disease progression.
22 +**Neurodiagnoses** redefines this landscape by integrating advanced AI with multi-modal data—including genetics, neuroimaging, biomarkers, and digital health records—to create a more precise, scalable, and data-driven diagnostic system.

23 -Neurodiagnoses is an open-source AI-powered diagnostic system designed for complex CNS disorders, including neurodegenerative diseases, autoimmune encephalopathies, prion disorders, and genetic syndromes. The project aims to develop a tridimensional diagnostic framework with an AI-powered annotation system, integrating etiology, molecular biomarkers, and neuroanatomoclinical correlations for precise, standardized, and scalable CNS disease diagnostics.
24 +Additionally, **Neurodiagnoses is now expanding into disease prediction and biomarker estimation**, integrating state-of-the-art machine learning models to enhance precision diagnostics and disease progression forecasting.

46 + * AI assigns probability scores to multiple possible diagnoses based on biomarker, imaging, and clinical data.
47 + * Useful for differential diagnosis and treatment decision-making.

51 + - **(1) Etiology** (genetic, autoimmune, metabolic, infectious).
52 + - **(2) Molecular Biomarkers** (amyloid-beta, tau, inflammatory markers, EEG patterns).
53 + - **(3) Neuroanatomoclinical Correlations** (brain atrophy, connectivity alterations).
