• Less risk, less costs: Portable spectroscopy devices could soon become real
  

  Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is an analytical tool with a wide range of applications, including the magnetic resonance imaging that is used for diagnostic purposes in medicine. However, NMR often requires powerful magnetic fields to be generated, which limits the scope of its use. Researchers wo more

• MRI scanning assists with next generation battery design
  

  Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) can provide an effective way of supporting the development of the next generation of high-performance rechargeable batteries, according to research led by the University of Birmingham. The technique, which was developed to detect the movement and deposition of sodium more

• World's smallest MRI performed on single atoms
  

  Researchers at the Center for Quantum Nanoscience (QNS) within the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) at Ewha Womans University have made a major scientific breakthrough by performing the world's smallest magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In an international collaboration with colleagues from the US, more

• Diagnostic performance of diffusion-weighted imaging for prostate cancer: Peripheral zone versus transition zone

  by Hakmin Lee, Sung Il Hwang, Hak Jong Lee, Seok-Soo Byun, Sang Eun Lee, Sung Kyu Hong Objectives Diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) has been shown to be an important component of multiparametric magnetic resonance imaging (mpMRI). We compared performance of DWI for detection of prostate cancer (PC more

• Memory-related hippocampal activation in the sleeping toddler [Psychological and Cognitive Sciences]

  One of the most fascinating questions in psychology and neuroscience pertains to how young children gain the capacity to remember their past. Early hippocampal processes have been implicated in this ability, but a lack of viable methods has hindered assessments of their contribution in early human d more

• Human midcingulate cortex encodes distributed representations of task progress [Neuroscience]

  Midcingulate cortex (MCC) contributes to cognitive control and decision making but its specific role in this process is highly mysterious. Here we use functional magnetic resonance imaging to test the predictions of a neural network model of MCC function. Confirming the model predictions, we find th more

• Caffeine Kick
  

  Caffeine is the most widely consumed psychoactive substance worldwide. It supplies the active ingredient in beverages such as coffee, tea and energy drinks. Caffeine can focus vigilance and attention, reduce drowsiness and enhance the ability to perform cognitive functions. Its neurobiological effects are ascribed to the antagonisation of cerebral adenosine receptors. more
