Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) uses magnetic fields to create images of the body that allow doctors to diagnose injury or illness more accurately. Susceptibility tensor imaging (STI), a specialized ...

Intravital brain imaging is a valuable tool for studying neurons, glial cells, and their surroundings in living animals. It allows the investigation of neurological illnesses, therapeutic efficacy, ...

Most efforts to analyze connections involve scanning many brains and averaging the data across groups of people. For this study, the researchers used brain-imaging techniques to evaluate brain ...

If the genome is an instruction manual, then the chemical modifications that comprise the epigenome are like highlighters and sticky notes. Each epigenetic mark tells cells which parts of the manual ...

Multiple sclerosis, a complex neurological condition affecting nearly 3 million people worldwide, has long been characterized by its elusiveness. Even as medical imaging technology has advanced ...

British scientists at Oxford have developed a novel brain scan technique that may identify Alzheimer’s disease far earlier than previously possible — before any visible symptoms emerge. The method ...

An explosion does not need to strike the head to injure the brain. When a blast occurs, it generates a sudden pressure wave ...

Researchers are using an advanced brain imaging method called MEG to understand why Parkinson’s drug levodopa doesn’t work equally well for everyone. By mapping patients’ brain signals before and ...

Recent advancements in artificial intelligence have led to the development of a brain-scan-trained AI capable of predicting human choices with remarkable accuracy. This breakthrough technology holds ...
