MRI Probe Combined with Magnetic Nanostructure and Antibody can Detect Alzheimer’s Disease Early
A noninvasive MRI application has been designed that can detect the Alzheimer’s disease in a living animal, well before typical Alzheimer’s symptoms appear. The researchers created an MRI probe that combines a magnetic nanostructure with an antibody that searches for the amyloid beta brain toxins responsible for onset of the disease. The accumulated toxins, because of the associated magnetic nanostructures, are revealed as dark areas in MRI scans of the brain. More...11 Jan 2015
New Functional MR Technique to Help Improve Understanding of Spinal Cord Injuries and Diseases
Researchers at the Vanderbilt University Institute of Imaging Science have demonstrated that resting state networks, similar to those in the brain, also exist in the human spinal cord. Changes to the resting state networks in the brain have been linked to various disorders including memory problems during aging. More...07 Jan 2015
fMRI Scanning Shows Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation Enhances Motor Learning Ability After Stroke
Neuro-rehabilitation techniques such as physical therapy and occupational therapy help hemaparetic stroke patients dealing with loss of motor skills on one side of their body, to regain some of their motor functions after a cerebrovascular accident. More...06 Jan 2015
fMRI Identifies Neural Damage Due to HIV Before Symptoms Present
Neuroscientists and clinicians reported that a five-minute functional magnetic resonance imaging scan can identify neuronal dysfunction in human immunodeficiency virus-positive individuals who do not yet exhibit cognitive decline. More...30 Dec 2014
