Enhancing Brain Image Resolution with Deep Learning Method!

Just like a blurry photo that needs enhancing, researchers have developed a deep learning method to improve the resolution of brain images obtained through generalized q-sampling MRI. Using a three-dimensional super-resolution convolutional neural network (CNN), they were able to reconstruct diffusion weighted imaging (DWI) and map the fiber geometry of the brain with greater accuracy. […]

Unraveling the Rhythmic Symphony of the Aging Brain

Imagine the brain as a grand orchestra, each neuron playing its own instrument in perfect harmony. But as we age or face neurodegenerative disorders, this symphony can become disrupted. Recent research has uncovered a fascinating clue to understand brain function and dysfunction: oscillatory brain activity. This rhythmic pattern of electrical activity can serve as a […]

Mapping Brain Connections to Predict Stroke Recovery

Imagine you’re planning a road trip, but you have no idea which roads will lead you to your destination in the quickest and smoothest way. That’s a bit like the predicament researchers face when it comes to stroke recovery. They know that effective rehabilitation strategies exist, but it’s challenging to predict how each patient will […]
