For decades, scientists have used near-infrared light to study the brain in a noninvasive way. This optical technique, known ...

The venous system maintains the health of our brains by removing deoxygenated blood and other waste products, but its complexity and variability have made scientific study difficult. Now, a UC ...

Medical researchers at QIMR Berghofer have achieved a significant milestone in the treatment of depression, demonstrating the ...

The Axial Seamount, an underwater volcano 300 miles off the coast of Oregon, U.S., is stirring and will likely erupt again in 2025. Because Axial Seamount dwells nearly 5,000 feet below the surface, ...

A simple MRI scan can save lives, detecting everything from injuries to cancer and strokes. But, in the world of "Final Destination Bloodlines," released May 16, the machine is just another tool to ...

However, conventional MRI captures only a fraction of the disease activity actually occurring within the brain and spinal cord. The most commonly missed pattern involves diffuse inflammatory ...

For decades, scientists have used near-infrared light to study the brain in a noninvasive way. This optical technique, known ...

Voxel based morphometry (VBM) to assess gray matter and atlas-based analysis was then applied to MRI scans of each individual's brain, identifying volume and connectivity differences. When the ...

A new study finds that microplastics and nanoplastics accumulate at higher levels in the brain than in the liver and kidney. A colorized computed tomography (CT) scan of the brain revealing blood ...
