Better MRIs may be on the way
Better MRIs may be on the way Better MRI scans may be on the horizon thanks to a new physics-based model that bridges molecular-scale dynamics with macroscopic magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) signals. The NMR eigenmodes framework, developed by researchers at Rice University and Oak Ridge National Laboratory, solves the full physical equations for interpreting how […]

Special MRI may clarify why some depression is chronic
Special MRI may clarify why some depression is chronic A new brain imaging study uses specialized MRI to investigate the link between chronic depression and dopamine, a neurotransmitter involved in reward and motivation. The study found that low neuromelanin signal in the midbrain is related to chronic depression and lower extraversion, a personality trait characterized […]
