A test called magnetic resonance spectroscopy can be part of the MRI. It compares a tumor to normal brain tissue, which can help reveal the tumor type or growth pattern. You may need a perfusion MRI, in which your radiologist injects contrast dye into a vein. This test shows the amount...
Using functional MRI (fMRI) and electrophysiology recordings in male rats, we found that optogenetically-evoked somatosensory thalamic spindle-like activities targeted numerous sensorimotor (cortex, thalamus, brainstem and basal ganglia) and non-sensorimotor limbic regions (cortex, amygdala, and hippocampus...
A new form of magnetic resonance imaging can reveal where so-called epigenetic changes have occurred in the brain. The technique, which requires a special diet, can image chemical labels added to DNA. Epigenetic MRI, or eMRI as the team call it, has only been tested on piglet...

How Does an fMRI Scanner Work? What Is an EEG fMRI? What are Binaural Beats? What can I Expect During a SPECT Brain Scan? What is a PET Scanner? What is an Electroencephalograph? How do I Become an Electroneurodiagnostic Technologist?
The research team gave participants memory tasks to perform in the MRI scanner. Over two days participants learned two overlapping but context-dependent memories. The researchers then measured interference between the two memories on the third day in the scanner. ...
Using a novel probe for functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), MIT biological engineers have devised a way to monitor individual populations of neurons and reveal how they interact with each other.
Decision-makers objectively commit to a definitive choice, yet at the subjective level, human decisions appear to be associated with a degree of uncertainty. Whether decisions are definitive (i.e., concluding in all-or-none choices), or whether the under
Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease with phenotypic changes closely associated with both genetic variants and imaging pathology. Brain imaging biomarker genomics has been developed in recent years to reveal potential AD p
Researchers detail how MRI brain scans can identify children at high risk of developing multiple sclerosis before symptoms appear. By the time multiple sclerosis (MS) is diagnosed in children, it may be difficult to prevent the disabilities and relapses that come with the disease. In a new Yale...
