New technique tracks brain function 60 times faster than traditional fMRI

The human brain functions rapidly enough that even upon being exposed to stimuli, neurons are activated, prompting subconscious reactions and, a fraction of a...

Big Data may help get new clues to Alzheimer’s

Despite rapid developments in medicine, early detection of neurodegenerative disorders remains a challenge. Now a group of Indian researchers has sought to apply Big...

How does the human brain marks time?

Neurobiologists from the University of California have recently discovered a key component of how the human brain marks time. For this work, they took...

A 15-minute scan could help diagnose brain damage in newborns

Brain damage affects around one in 300 births in the UK and is usually caused by oxygen deprivation. However, currently, doctors are unable to...

Scientists can now predict intelligence from brain scans

If you've ever lied about your IQ to seem more intelligent, it's time to fess up. Scientists can now tell how smart you are...

Faster analysis of medical images

Until now, MRI technique has been used to form pictures of the anatomy and the physiological processes of the body in both health and disease. This...

Medical imaging technology detects vascular disorders, injuries in brain

Using recently developed analytical imaging technology based on functional MRI, scientists at the Purdue University have identified cerebral vascular disorders and injuries that do not require...

Calcium-based MRI sensor enables more sensitive brain imaging

MIT neuroscientists have built up another magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) sensor that enables them to screen neural movement profound inside the mind by following...

Epilepsy is associated with brain volume and thickness differences

The biggest consistently neuroimaging investigation of individuals with epilepsy, distributed today in Brain, demonstrates that epilepsy includes more far reaching physical contrasts than already...

New brain mapping technique highlights relationship between connectivity and IQ

Lately, there has been a deliberate exertion among researchers to delineate associations in the mind – the supposed 'connectome' – and to see how...

New superconducting coil improves MRI performance

Scientists from the University of Houston have developed a high-temperature superconducting coil. This coil allows magnetic resource imaging (MRI) scanners to generate higher-resolution images...

MRI Machine at the Nanoscale Breaks World Records

Previously, I have written about 'an optical device called multiphoton microscope or endoscope'. This two material reduced the necessity of taking tissue samples during...
