No opening of the cranium, no cutting into the brain, no blood. Today's precise psychosurgery presents options for patients ...

Tiny brain tumors often hide in plain sight—sometimes no bigger than a grain of rice. These metastases, or secondary cancers that spread from other parts of the body, are especially dangerous.

For decades, scientists have tried to peer deep inside the human brain using beams of harmless near-infrared light. The technique, called functional near-infrared spectroscopy, or fNIRS, has become a ...

But despite this being commonly discussed, scientists haven’t really studied it. Liz Chrastil, an associate professor of neurobiology and behavior at the UC Irvine Center for the Neurobiology of ...

When electrical activity travels across the brain, it moves like ripples on a pond. The motion of these "brain waves," first ...

Illinois engineers fused ultrafast imaging with smart algorithms to peek at living brain chemistry, turning routine MRIs into ...

A new technology that uses clinical MRI machines to image metabolic activity in the brain could give researchers and clinicians unique insight into brain function and disease, researchers at the ...

The brain is one of the body’s most energy-demanding organs, accounting for 2 percent of the body’s weight but consuming 20 ...

Functional MRI brain imaging could one day help identify rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients most likely to respond to tumor necrosis factor (TNF) inhibitors and perhaps other targeted therapies ...

AI tools like ChatGPT may make us more productive, but this four-month study out of MIT shows there could be some unexpected tradeoffs.

Scientists have developed a groundbreaking tool that can measure how fast a person is aging and predict their future risk of chronic diseases like dementia using a single brain MRI scan.
