For years, concussions were described as temporary disruptions in brain function that could not be seen on any medical test.

Areas of abnormal white matter in the brains of multiple sclerosis (MS) patients appear much larger on diffusion tensor MRI than on T2-weighted MRI, a finding which could impact therapy options, ...

A new study finds that operative plans for removing juvenile pilocytic astrocytoma, or JPA, tumors in the thalamus of the brain can be augmented with Diffusion Tensor Imaging, or DTI. The sensitivity ...

What is diffusion tensor imaging? Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is a relatively new magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique designed to estimate the axonal organization of the brain via ...

Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) has emerged as a powerful non‐invasive modality for characterising the microstructural organisation of skeletal muscle. By quantifying the directional diffusion of water ...

Flipping through a pile of brain scans, a neurologist or psychiatrist would be hard pressed to pick out the one that belonged to a schizophrenic. Although schizophrenics suffer from profound mental ...

A team of medical scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Psycholinguistics has found structural differences in white matter in the human brain that can be linked to genetic variants that may be ...

A Hillsdale College freshman was one of 131 international medical students to have her research abstract accepted by Brown ...

For neuroscientists, experimental results converge to help crack the case of how the brain functions. A series of rodent experiments showed that even with abundant food and water, personal space is ...

Doctors may one day be able to gauge a patient's risk of dementia with an MRI scan, according to a new study. Using a new technique for analyzing MRI data, researchers were able to predict who would ...
