Neuroimaging – News and Features

In modern immunotherapy, modified immune cells are introduced into the body to attack tumors and other targets. Researchers have now developed a method for tracking these cells in the body.

A team from the University of Glasgow has demonstrated a new fNIRS technique that allows brain activity to be measured across the entire head. This advancement in technology could lead to more accessible and portable brain imaging.

The research team applied new techniques for mapping networks in the excised brains of dead, stranded cetaceans to examine and compare the auditory pathways in echolocating dolphins and a non-echolocating baleen whale called a sei whale.

Computed tomography (CT) colonography is a more cost-effective and more clinically effective method for colorectal cancer screening compared to stool DNA testing (mt-sDNA), a new study suggests.

A study from the University of Waterloo found that passionate hockey fans experience heightened brain activity, particularly in the dorsal medial prefrontal cortex, during key moments like offensive faceoffs.

A study involving over 2,800 teens found that poor sleep quality and duration are linked to reduced brain connectivity in areas related to decision-making, self-regulation and processing.

Researchers have discovered a novel biomarker for severe multiple sclerosis (MS). This research will contribute to our understanding of the molecular processes involved in progressive MS, and may aid in the allocation of patients to novel therapies.

Researchers at Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin look for new cancer diagnostic procedures. The result is an AI model that makes use of the specific characteristics in the genetic material of tumors.

Scientists have discovered how the brain generates predictions of what it might experience next. They found that the hippocampus is responsible for sending signals to the visual cortex to predict what we are about to see.

Researchers have developed the Krakencoder, a new tool that integrates structural and functional brain data to predict cognitive performance and behavior more accurately. The tool could enhance understanding of brain networks.
