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

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

Stroke Stopper
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 wire mesh expand,

Inside the Brain
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,

Neuroendocrinologists Unlock Chemical Trigger to Puberty
Researchers have discovered the precise chemical chain reaction that could be the much-sought-after puberty trigger: The KiSS-1 gene, which produces a protein in the hypothalamus, a part of the ... > 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 -
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 -
Neurologists Combine Electric Stimuli with Excercise to Reverse Paralysis
Paraplegic patients who still have some active nerve endings in their legs can find major improvements with a new therapy. During rehabilitation on a bicycle, special pads send electrical pulses that ... > more -
Neurosurgeonýs Drive Propels Him From Border Fence To Faculty
Physician scientist Alfredo Quinones has come a long way since illegally entering the United States. Today he is a faculty member at Johns Hopkins University. Quinones is a respected brain surgeon ... > 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 -
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 -
Neurologists Use GPS For The Brain As Guide In Surgery
Neurosurgeons' jobs are made easier by a 3-D CT scan produced by an advanced imaging system. It produces a computerized image of blood vessels and surrounding soft tissue, which can be rotated for ... > 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
