SpinTech MRI Earns FDA 510(k) Clearance for Rapid, Quantitative Brain-Imaging Technology
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has given 510(k) clearance to SpinTech MRI’s latest magnetic resonance imaging software device, STAGE (STrategically Acquired Gradient Echo), a post-processing software platform that enables comprehensive, quantitative brain imaging with enhanced visualization in significantly less time than conventional approaches. STAGE allows MRI ...

Do you really have to sacrifice MRI image quality for speed?
To understand the significance of the SpinTech MRI STAGE software platform, it helps to begin by asking a question: Given that MRI is an incredibly powerful diagnostic tool for neurological diseases like Alzheimer’s, dementia, Parkinson’s and multiple sclerosis (MS), why have radiologists and neurologists had to choose between conducting faster MRI exams and obtaining higher-quality ...

Cercare Perfusion Reveals Microvascular Changes in COVID-19 - Case Study
Introduction Neurologic complications are frequently reported in COVID-19, but our understanding of their pathophysiologic causes and neuroanatomical correlates is limited. While several structural brain imaging findings have been reported in COVID-19, including non-spherical signal abnormalities on Susceptibility-Weighted Imaging (SWI), conventional perfusion imaging has not provided consistent ...

Alcohol relapse is linked to immune protein?
Scientists at the Scripps Research Institute have found that the immune protein CSF1 may cause anxiety during alcohol withdrawal. Some nuclei have the corticotropin-releasing factor receptor 1 crhr1 gene, and the glutamate transporter slc17a7 gene, but the glutamate decarboxylase gene gad2 does not, suggesting that they mainly constitute an excitatory population in the medial prefrontal cortex. ...

Can We Predict Treatment Success in tVNS?
Predicting Treatment Success Transcutaneous vagus nerve stimulation (tVNS) has recently emerged as a promising treatment for depression and an effective mood enhancer, showing benefits over similar treatments including traditional vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) which is invasive and costly. tVNS targets the auricular branch of the vagus nerve and works by applying a small electrical stimulation ...

Mood enhancement and Neural Network Modulation with Transcutaneous Vagus Nerve Stimulation (tVNS)?
Depression and the vagus nerve Depression affects millions of people worldwide and constitutes a leading cause of disability. Although pharmacological interventions are available, many of them produce suboptimal outcomes due to high non-responsive rates or intolerable side effects. It has been estimated that between 20 to 40 per cent of patients either failed to respond to conventional ...

Neuronal processes that drive behavioral motivation have been found, according to Science
"A neuronal mechanism for motivational control of behavior" published in Science by Friedrich Miescher Institute for Biomedical Research, University of Basel. Almost everything you do in your daily life is geared toward achieving a specific goal. The brain has the ability to maintain a motivated state in order to lead behaviors toward desired results. Deep brain calcium imaging, ...

Brain Imaging in Zebrafish
An adult human brain contains approximately 86 billion neurons, along with about 85 billion non-neuronal cells. All those cells work together to manage motor control, sensory perception, heart rate, breathing, and more. While the human brain is extremely complex, with the ability to process language, it is not totally unique. Most vertebrate brains are quite similar; they all need similar ...

A Fitbit for your Brain is Around the Corner
A woman reads a book while attached to an EEG machine at the University of Bonn's Department of Epileptology in Bonn, Germany on July 16, 2000. The technology can gather brain wave data in daily life situations rather than clinical settings, which holds promise for researchers of neurological disorders. Every time you blink, think or move, your brain generates electricity as individual neurons ...

Affective multisensory driver interface design
The last decade has seen a surge of interest in the development of affective driver interfaces designed to enhance driver safety and convey useful information to the driver. These technological advances have brought about changes in the ambient driving environment and clearly have the potential to enhance the driving experience in the years to come. This review provides an overview of existing ...
