Neuroscientists have taken a major step toward detecting Alzheimer’s disease in its earliest stages—long before memory loss ...

Overall brain activity declines during light stages of sleep, ... However, MRI scans can measure neural activity by detecting the blood-flow response of structures throughout the brain, they said.

Illinois engineers fused ultrafast imaging with smart algorithms to peek at living brain chemistry, turning routine MRIs into ...

For neuroscience, in particular, fast scans are critical for capturing the dynamic activity in the brain. "When a functional MRI study of the brain is performed, about 30 to 60 images covering the ...

A study suggests that a single brain MRI can be used to predict a person's rate of aging across their whole body, which ...

Playing an instrument can promote a youthful pattern of brain activity, researchers reported July 15 in the journal PLOS ...

Scientists used brain scans to track how we experience mental fatigue - and what makes the brain decide to push through or stop trying.

Existing brain imaging techniques are either unable to penetrate the brain or are not of a high enough resolution to follow specific brain processes. Researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of ...

Normal MRI scans acquire the entire image in ... This method uses differences in blood oxygenation as a proxy for where neurons are firing and has been used to map brain activity for the last 30 ...

An experimental method, which can predict the aging rate of both brain and body, may detect who should implement lifestyle ...

Functional MRI brain imaging could one day help identify ... 57% of RA patients with "high-volume" brain activity on such scans achieved low disease activity on treatment with the TNF ...

“Those behavioral difficulties are associated with changes in the brain.” MRI scans showed different patterns of brain activity in adolescents with OCD compared to controls.
