fMRI and Database Show a Dominant Side of the Brain for Handedness and Language
Utilizing a large psychometric and brain imaging database, researchers have demonstrated that the location of language areas in the brain is independent of left- or right-handedness, except for a very small percentage of left-handed individuals whose right hemisphere is dominant for both manual work and language.

Research Demonstrates MRI Acts as Predictive Marker for Epilepsy Development Following Febrile Seizure
Within hours of a fever-induced seizure, MRI may be able to identify brain changes that occur in those most likely to develop epilepsy later in life, according to recent animal research. More...16 Jul 2014
Four Imaging Approaches Can Differentiate Malignant and Benign Breast Tumors
Imaging breast tumors using four approaches together, can better distinguish malignant breast tumors from those that are benign, compared with imaging using fewer approaches, and this may help avoid repeat breast biopsies. More...10 Jul 2014
fMRI Brain Scans Reveal Differences in Adults Who Have Recovered from Childhood ADHD and Those Who Did Not
In a study to compare patterns of brain activity in adults who recovered from childhood with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and those who did not, neuroscientists have discovered key differences in a brain communication network that is active when the brain is at wakeful rest and not focused on a particular task.
