In a discovery that could reshape how we view and understand the human brain, researchers have successfully passed a laser beam through an entire human head. While it may sound like science fiction, ...

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 ...

There are lots of situations where getting a look at the human brain can be very helpful. Unfortunately, our heads are ...

UC Berkeley scientists have developed a magnetic resonance imaging technique that tracks blood through the brain’s veins back ...

UHF MRI also enables chemical exchange-sensitive MRI or spectroscopy investigations, enabling investigators to assess concentrations of certain neurochemicals in the brain, which can deliver ...

One MRI scan can now reveal how quickly you're aging. Faster aging links to poor memory, chronic illness, and earlier death.

In experiments with healthy volunteers undergoing functional MRI imaging, scientists have found increased activity in two ...

NMR spectroscopy is the use of NMR phenomena to study the physical, chemical, and biological properties of matter. Chemists use it to determine molecular identity and structure. Medical practitioners ...
