Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an imaging technique which physicians use for the diagnosis and treatment of medical conditions.

Alzheimer's risk and navigation problems go hand in hand

Animals and humans have the ability to follow their own position in space through self-motion cues, even in the absence of any other sensory information.

Potential link to brain inflammation may explain the connection between MS and fatigue

Up to 60 percent of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) report that fatigue is the disease's most debilitating symptom.

Study reveals neural mechanisms that contribute to fatigue in people with depression, MS, stroke

Scientists at Johns Hopkins Medicine using MRI scans and computer modeling say they have further pinpointed areas of the human brain that regulate efforts to deal with fatigue.

New method analyzes the whole brain network for the first time

A new method of brain imaging analysis offers the potential to greatly improve the effectiveness of noninvasive brain stimulation treatment for Alzheimer's, obsessive compulsive disorder, depression, and other conditions.

Researchers propose new technique to prevent imaging cyberthreats

Researchers at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev have developed a new artificial intelligence technique that will protect medical devices from malicious operating instructions in a cyberattack as well as other human and system errors.

Dusp8 protein has regulatory effects on hypothalamic insulin sensitivity

The brain plays a major role in controlling our blood glucose levels. In type 2 diabetics this glucose metabolism brain control is often dysfunctional. Genetic components for this phenomenon have so far remained elusive.

Study sheds light on 500-year old mystery about the human heart

Researchers have investigated the function of a complex mesh of muscle fibres that line the inner surface of the heart. The study, published in the journal Nature, sheds light on questions asked by Leonardo da Vinci 500 years ago, and shows how the shape of these muscles impacts heart performance and heart failure.

Study investigates onset of spinocerebellar ataxia associated with loss of motor coordination

A European research alliance tracks the onset of ataxias "Spinocerebellar ataxias" are diseases of the nervous system associated with a loss of motor coordination.

Acidic niche within lymph nodes plays integral role in regulating T cell activation

In the fight against cancer, the immune system is the first line of defense. The lymphatic system specifically is essential to protecting the body against foreign invaders.

Combining machine learning with brain imaging tools can redefine the standard for diagnosing mental illnesses

Most of modern medicine has physical tests or objective techniques to define much of what ails us. Yet, there is currently no blood or genetic test, or impartial procedure that can definitively diagnose a mental illness, and certainly none to distinguish between different psychiatric disorders with similar symptoms.

Stone age instinct and daily stress have left disproportionate number of women in agony

We're 100% behind knowledge-based research, but sometimes you really do have to question evolution! Jaw-dropping research? Not really, quite the opposite actually!

Study highlights the importance of skilled professionals in medical imaging and radiation therapy

I went into the MRI bracing for the wave of panic I knew would come as soon as I was strapped down and inside the machine.

Study: The brains of nonpartisans are different from those who strongly support one party

The brains of people with no political allegiance are different from those who strongly support one party, major new research shows.

Chronic fatigue syndrome and Gulf War illness produce different patterns of brain activity after moderate exercise

A brain imaging study of veterans with Gulf War illness (GWI) and patients with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) (sometimes called myalgic encephalomyelitis), has shown that the two illnesses produce distinctly different, abnormal patterns of brain activity after moderate exercise.

Parts of the human brain have been “recycled” for reading, indicates study

Humans began to develop systems of reading and writing only within the past few thousand years. Our reading abilities set us apart from other animal species, but a few thousand years is much too short a timeframe for our brains to have evolved new areas specifically devoted to reading.
