Peering into the human brain has never been easy. For decades, neuroscientists have relied on heavy, expensive machines to measure blood flow and oxygen levels that reveal how the brain works. These ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Mobile brain scanners sound like something out of science fiction, but they’ve been around for more than a decade. A rising number ...

Scientists who use imaging to understand the brain's complexity often focus on the strongest signals and ignore the rest. But this strategy, researchers warn, may reveal only the tip of the iceberg. A ...

A routine brain scan can look clear but still leave surgeons guessing. Two benign tumors near the pituitary gland often appear nearly identical on MRI. Choose the wrong one, and the entire surgical ...

If EKGs can detect potential problems in heart function, then doctors are asking why brain scans can’t be used in the same way, to identify disorders like depression, autism or schizophrenia.more ...

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 ...

WPI researchers have used a form of artificial intelligence (AI) to analyze anatomical changes in the brain and predict Alzheimer's disease with nearly 93% accuracy. Their research, published in the ...

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is one of medicine's most powerful diagnostic tools. But certain tissues deep inside the body—including brain regions and delicate structures of the eye and orbit that ...
