AI gives a clearer picture of functional MRI brain data

by Boston College edited by Sadie Harley, reviewed by Robert Egan  Editors’ notes For three decades, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has been shaping our understanding of the human brain. A major obstacle for fMRI research is that information about brain responses is mixed with “noise”: distortions in the measurements caused by head movements of the participants, heart

Brain iron on MRI predicts cognitive impairment, decline

Peer-Reviewed Publication Radiological Society of North America A special MRI technique that detects iron levels in different regions of the brain can predict the onset of mild cognitive impairment and cognitive decline in cognitively unimpaired older adults, potentially creating a pathway to earlier interventions, according to a study published today in Radiology, a journal of the
