A new approach to brain imaging combines functional MRI, electroencephalography and a technique known as EROS, which shines near-infrared light on the scalp to capture brain activity. (A young woman…
…Approach to Brain Imaging Neurotransmitter levels in the brain can indicate brain health and neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s. However, the protective blood-brain barrier (BBB) makes delivering fluorescent sensors that can…
Research reveals that brain shrinkage in Alzheimer’s patients varies significantly, with no consistent pattern; this finding could lead to tailored treatments based on individual brain changes. A new study finds…
…on brain-wide association studies to measure brain structure and function—using MRI brain scans—and link them to complex characteristics such as personality, behavior, cognition, neurological conditions, and mental illness. New research…
…of brain mass data. The brain measurements were then analyzed along with body size to compare the scale of brain size to body size over deep evolutionary time. Brain-Body Scaling…
…by the evolutionary process that created the human brain. Since the AI network didn’t seek to mimic the brain directly — but does end up looking brain-like — this suggests…
…directly to the brain. Credit: Lena Ayuk/Virginia Tech Focused ultrasound could turn a muscle supplement into a brain-saving therapy by sneaking creatine past the brain’s protective shield. Virginia Tech researchers,…
…brain function. These resonant phenomena, the authors believe, are at the root of the coherent, coordinated brain activity that is needed for normal brain function as a whole. Ultrafast MRI…
