Brain Scans Of The Future
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

Cell Phone Risk
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 cell phone

Detecting Concussions on the Sidelines
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

Virtual Reality for Navigation Skills
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

Doppler Sonography Helps Psychologists Measure Attention Levels
Psychologists are finding out that even when people try to focus on a task they tend to lose concentration within 40 minutes, and sometimes as little as 10 minutes. The studies are based on a new ... > 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 -
Neurologists, Imaging Scientists Use Medical Physics to Spot Disease in Blood Vessels
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 deposits of ... > more -
Psychologists Link Hitting Skills to Vision
Cognitive psychologists have discovered that baseball skills correlate with how a player sees the ball: Athletes who see the ball bigger than it is tend to perform better. In the experiments, ... > more -
Optical Scientists, Psychiatrists Develop Minimally Invasive Eye Test for Alzheimer's
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 can determine the ... > more -
Psychiatrists Can Predict Onset of Alzheimer's with New EEG Test
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 ... > more -
Pediatric Neurologists Use MRI to Understand How Strokes Impair Verbal Abilities
Children who have speech-impairing strokes often learn to talk again, while adult stroke victims can lose their verbal abilities for good. By giving reading and verbal tests inside the MRI, ... > more -
Neurologists Use New Brain Scanning Device To Better Control Seizures
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 seizure much ... > more -
Interventional Neuroradiologists Treat Brain Strokes with New Kind of Stent
A new "wingspan" stent helps restore blood flow for patients with intracranial atherosclerotic disease, or ICAD. Surgeons insert the stent up the leg arteries, guide it to the brain, then let its ... > more -
