Increased intake of magnesium-rich foods could help reduce dementia risk

More magnesium in our daily diet leads to better brain health as we age, according to scientists from the Neuroimaging and Brain Lab at The Australian National University (ANU).

Multivariate brain-wide associated studies can be replicable with substantially smaller sample sizes

Since the development of functional magnetic resonance imaging in the 1990s, the reliance on neuroimaging has skyrocketed as researchers investigate how fMRI data from the brain at rest, and anatomical brain structure itself, can be used to predict individual traits, such as depression, cognitive decline, and brain disorders.

An overview of COVID-19-associated neurological complications in children

Researchers review current literature to understand the association between COVID-19, neuroimaging, and neurological symptoms in children.

Expert Brad Sutton explains how MRI has changed the scope of medical research in 50 years

March 16, 2023, marks 50 years since Paul Lauterbur published his seminal Nature paper establishing zeugmatography -; now familiar to most as magnetic resonance imaging or simply MRI -; as a viable way to visualize objects with a magnetic field and radiofrequency signals.

Longitudinal changes in neurophysiological functional connectivity associated with working memory recognition in autism spectrum disorder

A recent study evaluates the neural correlates of successful recognition of visual stimuli to investigate functional connectivity changes in autism.

New insight into the possible ASD-cardiometabolic diseases link

A study conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) from 2009 to 2017 determined that approximately 1 in 44 children ages 3-17 are diagnosed with some form of autism spectrum disorder (ASD).

New discoveries made regarding autism onset in mouse models

Although autism is a common neurodevelopmental disorder, the multiple factors behind its onset are still not fully understood.

Neural underpinnings of atypical visual sensory behaviors in some children with autism

There is this picture – you may have seen it. It is black and white and has two silhouettes facing one another. Or maybe you see the black vase with a white background. But now, you likely see both.

New screening tool can efficiently assess cognition issues in older adults

A self-administered screening tool, developed by Cleveland Clinic researchers, can effectively and efficiently assess cognition issues in older adults.

Are boys and girls wired differently when it comes to thinking?

Scientists have wondered whetherboys and girls think differently because their brains are different. A recent paper presents evidence that, indeed, girls do show meaningful differences in their brain circuits that could explain why their cognitive functions differ from those of boys.

Prolonged space travel induces reversible and persistent changes on the human brain

Scientists of the University of Antwerp and University of Liège have found how the human brain changes and adapts to weightlessness, after being in space for 6 months.

Novel experimental platform optically records neuronal activity during brain-wide fMRI in rodents

When we daydream or revisit memories, a large group of regions within our brain "lights up," or becomes more active.

Two cardiovascular drugs may help improve outcomes for patients who experienced small vessel stroke

A study of two widely used cardiovascular medications — cilostazol and isosorbide mononitrate — in more than 350 patients confirmed the two medications were well-tolerated and safe for people who have experienced a stroke in a small blood vessel deep in the brain.

Novel nuclear medicine imaging protocol cuts costs and radiation exposure for Alzheimer's patients

A novel nuclear medicine imaging protocol can take the place of two separate imaging scans for the evaluation of brain changes linked to cognitive impairment, cutting costs and radiation exposure for patients as well as providing them greater comfort.
