Predicting Alzheimer's
Using new computer software
that analyzes EEG data,
psychiatrists can now better
distinguish early signs of
Alzheimer's from normal
aging, by spotting marked
differences between the left
and right sides of the
... > full story
Detecting Alzheimer's Early
Building upon a recent
discovery that the same
Alzheimer's disease process
that goes on in the brain
also occurs in the eye,
researchers have developed a
pair of optical tests that

Diagnosing Alzheimer's Early
A new brain-imaging method
allows physicians to
diagnose Alzheimer's before
its onset. A radioactive dye
is injected in the blood and
travels to the brain, where
it attaches to plaque

Pinpointing Problems In The Brain
Doctors are now using a new
kind of brain scan called
magnetoencephalography
(MEG), which measures brain
activity in real time. In
some cases, MEG can pinpoint
the source of an epileptic

Psychologists Use fMRI To Understand Ties Between Memories And The Imagination
Psychologists have found that thought patterns used to recall the past and imagine the future are strikingly similar. Using functional magnetic resonance imaging to show the brain at work, they have ... > more -
Cognitive Scientists Use fMRI To Watch Brains While Eyes Search
Cognitive scientists ran an experiment to understand how the brain searches for an object with a known shape. They asked subjects to track the movement of dots, and used fMRI to see which parts of ... > more -
Vision Researchers Test Theory on Visual Orientation
Vision researchers suspect that people who do not need maps to find their way may be remembering visual landmarks. To test this theory, the scientists are having volunteers navigate through a virtual ... > more -

Doctors, Biomedical Engineers Develop Device for Diagnosing Concussion in Minutes
Using a handheld unit attached to a laptop, doctors can now check in just five to seven minutes if a patient has suffered from concussion, by testing cognitive functions such as reaction time and ... > more -
Neurosurgeons Can Now Remove Brain Cancer Endoscopically
For more than a century, neurosurgeons have accessed the brain through the nose, but only recently did they successfully removed tumors with such minimally invasive procedures, leading to patients' ... > more -
Cognitive Psychologists Show Conversations Lower Visual Abilities
A study showed that the part of the brain that controls vision becomes less active when people focus on something visually while having a conversation -- underscoring the hazards of talking on your ... > more -
MRIs Peek into the Brains of Synesthesia Patients
Cognitive neuroscientists have now documented hundreds of cases of synesthesia -- the condition in which one sense triggers the response of a different one. Using functional magnetic resonance ... > more -
Cognitive Neuroscientists Use Sound Training To Help Dyslexic Children Read
Cognitive neuroscientists monitoring brain activity with fMRI found that children with dyslexia are often unable to process the fast-changing sounds used in spoken language. Sound training dedicated ... > more -
Acousticians Improve Sound Quality of Cochlear Implants
In a new study, 34 normal-hearing and 18 cochlear-implant subjects were tested on three speech-perception tasks known to be notoriously difficult for cochlear-implant users: speech recognition with a ... > more -
Molecular Biologists Devise Strategy To Starve Brain Tumors
Brain tumor researchers have found that brain tumors arise from cancer stem cells living within tiny protective areas formed by blood vessels in the brain. Killing those cells is a promising ... > more
