Concept: Cancer immunoscore. Also: TNM staging.
Background: Cancers are traditionally scored using TNM (tumor, lymph node, metastasis) staging. Evidence that proximity of immune cells to tumor is correlative to therapy success.
Technology: Cancers can be beneficially scored by using description of local immune cells.

Concept: Neurochronoarchitecture.
New idea: The brain’s chronoarchitecture refers to the timeline of happenings across the brain as seen from the neurons’ perspective. Different neuronal components (neurons, areas, etc) receive information from different components at different (external) time, resulting in different temporal hierarchies (internal timelines).
