Scientists have long struggled to define brain fog—let alone pinpoint a cause for it. But research is starting to reveal multiple potential causes from inflammation to a leaky blood-brain barrier.

Two people in Oregon have died from a rare, progressive brain disorder similar to "mad cow disease" that leads to dementia and is %100 fatal. The Hood River County Health Department confirmed the ...

For example, bilateral papilledema in an overweight woman in her 20s should lead to an MRI brain scan and magnetic resonance venography with contrast, to exclude a mass lesion and intracranial ...

A 2015 study found that men who frequently viewed porn had less gray matter in the brain’s area responsible for motivation and decision-making. Heavy consumers of X-rated content were also less ...

Australian fashion designer to the stars Aurelio Costarella died aged 60 in Western Australia on Saturday morning after a short battle with a rare brain disease. The Perth native was recently ...

Music influences the brain's reward system, releasing dopamine—the same neurotransmitter involved in pleasure from food, sex, and social interaction (Salimpoor et al., 2011). This neural ...

The universe has no brain. It has no gray matter, no nervous system, no neurons firing electrical impulses—and yet, that physical structure may not be where intelligence and consciousness ...

SIX CURRENT AND FORMER NURSES ON THE FIFTH FLOOR MATERNITY UNIT HAVE RECENTLY REPORTED CASES OF BRAIN TUMORS. MASS GENERAL BRIGHAM SAYS THE TUMORS HAVE ALL BEEN NONCANCEROUS AND HAVE OCCURRED OVER ...

University of North Carolina-led researchers have used brain connectivity charts built from functional MRI data as a tool for tracking early childhood brain development. Charts mapped the ...

Blood-brain barrier (BBB) leakage measured with dynamic susceptibility contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been associated with hemorrhagic transformation in acute ischemic stroke.

This underscores the need for robust automated segmentation techniques. Accurate three-dimensional (3D) Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) brain tumor segmentation is critical for effective diagnosis in ...

The goal of this toolbox is to provide open-source research-level and prototyping software tools for hyperpolarized MRI experiments. It is currently based on MATLAB/Octave code, and includes code for ...
