A new technique has been developed in order to successfully analyze information obtained in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) that seems to be able to identify whether or not tumors are in fact responding to antiangiogenesis therapy. In their report, researchers from the Martinos Center for Biomed...

The ability to measure brain functions non-invasively is paramount for both clinical diagnoses and research in Neurology and Psychology. Two main imaging techniques have been joined in an attempt to achieve full access into brain functionality in a non-invasive approach: positron emission tomography...

About 10 percent of the world’s population suffers from Dyslexia, an impediment that makes learning to read difficult. Dyslexia is typically diagnosed around second grade, but results of a new study from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) could help identify dyslexia in children befor...
