Revolutionizing Neuroscience: MIT Researchers Develop Technology for 3D Imaging of Entire Human Brain Hemispheres

Exciting advancements in neuroscience research have been made as a team of researchers from MIT successfully developed a technology pipeline for 3D imaging of entire human brain hemispheres at subcellular resolution. This groundbreaking achievement opens up new possibilities for studying the intricacies of the human brain in health and disease, offering new insights into neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s.

MYndspan Study Reveals Groundbreaking Insights on Brain Aging Trajectories

MYndspan, a British brain health tech company, presented a groundbreaking study at the Longevity Summit Dublin utilizing magnetoencephalography (MEG) to predict brain aging trajectories. The research identified specific neurophysiological markers associated with accelerated brain aging and highlighted the significance of cortical oscillations as reliable markers for predictive brain age modeling. MYndspan plans to expand its brain health assessments to other locations in the UK and North America, making advanced brain health assessments more accessible to a wider audience.

Transparent Skull Implant Enables Revolutionary Brain Imaging Technology

Researchers at the Keck School of Medicine of USC and Caltech have developed a new brain imaging technique using a transparent ‘window’ in a patient’s skull. This innovative approach, demonstrated in a proof-of-concept study, utilizes functional ultrasound imaging to record brain activity. Led by Dr. Charles Liu, the study shows promising implications for patient monitoring and a deeper understanding of brain function, particularly in individuals with neurological disabilities. This groundbreaking research offers new possibilities for diagnosis and treatment in patients with serious head injuries.
