Scientists Use fMRI to Investigate How Methylene Blue Improves Short-Term Memory

Researchers have found that even a small oral dose of methylene blue can increase responses in parts of the human brain used for short-term memory. More...

Image: The image shows MRI scans of one patient, taken before and after treatment, and reveals the correlation between the area and size of bleeding after treatment, and the disruption to the blood-brain barrier before therapy (Photo courtesy of Dr. Leigh, NINDS).

Novel Imaging Technique Could Predict Brain Bleeding Following a Stroke

Scientists in the US have used MRI brain scans of stroke patients to confirm the relationship between the extent that the Blood-Brain Barrier (BBB) has been disrupted, and the severity of bleeding, after invasive stroke therapy. More...

Image: The image on the left is a magnetic resonance image (MRI) of a prostate enhanced with restriction spectrum imaging (RSI). The higher-grade tumor is indicated by orange and yellow. The image on the right is a digitized section of the prostate with the tumors outlined with blue dotted lines (Photo courtesy of UC San Diego Health).

Restriction Spectrum Imaging with MRI Used to Predict Prostate Cancer Tumor Grade

The results of a new study indicate that RSI biomarkers can be used to enhance the ability of MRI to detect prostate cancer tumors, and predict their grade and stage of development, and enable improved treatment options. More...

Research Suggests fMRI May Not Map Neuronal Circuitry Precisely

Research results published ahead of print, in the May 25, 2016, online issue of Nature, suggest that discrepancies between vascular and neural responses could point towards limits in the use of functional MR Imaging (fMRI) for precise imaging of neural networks in the brain. More...
