Brain maps seem to come out in rapid succession these days. They take various forms: a map for word concepts, a map of individual cells’ activity, a map based on the organ’s physical contours. What ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — What if a drug you need every single day of your life could be implanted into your body so that you don’t have to remember to take a pill? Unfortunately, chances are the drug ...

A new technology that uses clinical MRI machines to image metabolic activity in the brain could give researchers and clinicians unique insight into brain function and disease, researchers at the ...

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 ...

An MRI sensor now allows neuroscientists to map neural activity with molecular precision. This is the first time anyone has been able to map neural signals with high precision over large brain regions ...

Using magnetic resonance imaging technology, or MRI, to tag the work of millions of individual strands of heart muscle fibers, researchers at Johns Hopkins have successfully mapped the smallest ...

This is a preview. Log in through your library . Abstract The cortex is thought to be the primary site of sensory plasticity, particularly during development. Here, we report that large-scale ...

For most clinicians, the MRI is a practical tool used primarily to diagnose illness. For Dr. Nancy Andreasen, a neuroscientist and psychiatrist, it becomes a completely different tool. Dr. Andreasen, ...

Launched in 2013, the American national BRAIN Initiative aims to revolutionize our understanding of cognition by mapping the activity of every neuron in the human brain, revealing how brain circuits ...
