MRI allows brain anatomy of individuals to be visualized in 3 dimensions with great details, as well as networks of brain regions activated by high order cognitive functions up to consciousness, together with stunning images of the connections between those areas. An important challenge for ...
Tools for looking at the brain, such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) machines, can require a person to be partially or completely still. This can make it hard for doctors to observe people's brain activity during real-life activities. Brains, like all organs, undergo changes after a per...

Call your doctor right away if you have any of these. They may want to check for new lesions with an MRI. That’s a machine that takes pictures of your brain or spinal cord. It can be hard to tell the difference between a true relapse and a flare-up. That’s a worsening of old...
To better understand how network structure shapes intelligent behavior, we developed a learning algorithm that we used to build personalized brain network models for 650 Human Connectome Project participants. We found that participants with higher intell
Patients taking abiraterone with ipatasertib saw a significant radiological PFS advantage, according to the research [13]. 1.5. Nuclear Medicine Therapy and Prostate Cancer: What Is Known For the treatment of adult patients with prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA)-positive mCRPC who have ...
Such transformations mirror the refined skills inherent to musicians, encompassing areas like auditory discernment, sound-associated emotional interpretation, and intricate motor control. Musicians, for instance, typically possess a more substantial corpus callosum—the neural bridge uniting the brain’s two...
Has someone ever told you to “just relax” when you’re in the middle of a stressful situation, and you thought to yourself, “Well, that’s easy for you to say!” Relaxation actually isn’t easy (and doesn’t come naturally) for many of us. It’s hard not to get caught up in...
