US scientists have used MRI to show that apparently the less you use your brain's frontal lobes, the more you perceive your behaviour through rose-tinted spectacles. They publish details in the February issue of the journal NeuroImage. [February 1, 2010]


MRS of the occipital cortex and the cerebellar vermis distinguishes individual cats affected with alpha-mannosidosis from normal cats MRS of the occipital cortex and the cerebellar vermis distinguishes individual cats affected with alpha-mannosidosis from normal cats  [registered users only]
In vivo MRS from the cerebellar vermis and occipital cortex of cats with alpha mannosidosis (AMD) demonstrated a broad signal between 3.4 - 4.3 ppm (arrowed) from undigested oligosaccharides, which was not observed in normal cats. High-resolution NMR spectra of perchloric acid extracts confirmed the presence of accumulated oligosaccharides along with increased resonances from Glc-NAc and anomeric sugar protons in tissues from AMD cats. This characteristic MRS pattern may be used for diagnosis and treatment monitoring of AMD. [January 25, 2010]


MRI nanoparticles seek and destroy cancer cells MRI nanoparticles seek and destroy cancer cells 
A single nanoparticle can be tracked using real-time MRI as it homes in on cancer cells. A fluorescent dye used to tag the nanoparticle couples with heat therapy to kill the targeted cells. [January 1, 2010]
