Journal Highlight: 3T-MRI analysis of epidermis and dermis moisturizing using the T2-mapping sequence
spectroscopyNOW
May 20, 2013
T2-mapping in MRI has been applied to assess basal free water content of the epidermis and dermis and to search for an increase in free water content after applying a moisturizing cream.
Psychopathy is characterised as a personality disorder in which the afflicted lacks empathy for other people, feels no remorse for their actions regardless of whether they cause harm and in extreme cases leads to criminality. Now, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has been used to reveal that the "circuitry" in the brains of criminal psychopaths is different from that in others.
Journal Highlight: Frontal brain expansion during development using MRI and endocasts: Relation to microcephaly and Homo floresiensis
spectroscopyNOW
Apr 22, 2013
To determine if modern human brain evolution occurs via an expansion of the frontal lobes, the MRI scans of 118 living infants, children, and adolescents were reviewed and the frontal width, maximal cerebral width and maximal cerebral length were measured and compared.

James Keeler, Editor-in-Chief of Magnetic Resonance in Chemistry, discusses the high-resolution NMR of liquid samples, concentratring exclusively on spin-half nuclei (mainly 1H and 13C). It is aimed at people who are familiar with the use of routine NMR for structure determination and who wish to deepen their understanding of just exactly how NMR experiments work.
A Life in NMR: Interview with Regina Schuck, VP and General Manager of Agilent Research Products Division
Nov 1, 2011
Agilent Research Products Division vice president and general manager, Regina Schuck talks about her experiences of a lifetime spent in NMR, including the most significant recent developments, the current challenges and a glimpse into the NMR of the future.
Agilent Research Products Division vice president and general manager, Regina Schuck describes how the recently-acquired nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy products are complementary to Agilent's mass spectrometry portfolio.
