Brain volume and function are altered in individuals with opioid use disorder, a new Yale study finds. Using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and functional MRI (fMRI), researchers observed the ...

Using an algorithm they call the Krakencoder, researchers at Weill Cornell Medicine are a step closer to unraveling how the brain’s wiring supports the way we think and act. The study, published June ...

Modern imaging is contributing significantly to giving us a better understanding of how our brains work. In the long term, ...

For many heartbreaking diseases of the brain — dementia, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s and others — doctors can only treat the symptoms. Medical science does not have a cure. Why? Because it’s difficult to ...

Researchers tested a new MRI correction method, called the traveling-subject (TS) approach, to resolve inconsistencies in ...

The device can precisely stimulate areas deep in the brain without surgery and could transform the treatment of Parkinson's and depression.

Scientists used non-invasive MRI to study shrews that seasonally shrink and regrow their brains, uncovering water loss as the ...

A 2023 study found that shorter sleep duration causes reduced brain cortical thickness. Sleep disorders increase the risk of Alzheimer’s, stroke, and cognitive decline. Chronic sleep deprivation ...

An ultrasound device that can precisely stimulate areas deep in the brain without surgery has been developed by researchers ...

UCL researchers have developed an ultrasound helmet that enables deep brain stimulation without surgery, offering hope for ...
