fMRI Shows Neural Compensation Found in Individuals with Alzheimer’s-Related Protein
A neuroimaging study has demonstrated that the human brain is capable of a neural plasticity that compensates for the accumulation of beta-amyloid, a destructive protein linked with Alzheimer’s disease. More...24 Sep 2014

Macromolecular Proton Fraction Mapping and MRI Reveal That Loss of Myelin Denotes Severity of Multiple Sclerosis
People with multiple sclerosis lose myelin in the gray matter of their brains, and the loss is closely correlated with the severity of the disease, according to new magnetic resonance imaging findings. More...24 Sep 2014
