Investigators developed the Dunedin Pace of Aging Calculated from NeuroImaging (DunedinPACNI) to estimate an individual’s pace of aging based on brain MRI features such as cortical thickness ...

Dementia is an umbrella term for a range of brain diseases that cause memory loss and other cognitive decline. More than 100 medical conditions can cause dementia.

Scientists have developed a groundbreaking tool that can measure how fast a person is aging and predict their future risk of chronic diseases like dementia using a single brain MRI scan.

The condition is usually caused by cerebral small vessel disease (cSVD), which damages the brain's small blood vessels—but researchers don't yet know the exact mechanism linking cSVD to dementia ...

Since iron is easily detectable by MRI scans, researchers used quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) MRI to analyze iron distribution in the brain. A group of 32 adults with ADHD and 29 ...

MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) is an incredible technique that was first used to scan patients in the 1970s and 1980s. It uses radio waves, giant magnets, and computational tools to visualize ...

The research involved 200 ex-professional rugby players aged 30-61 (median age, 44), all of whom had self-referred with brain health concerns but had no dementia diagnosis at baseline.

One cup of tea was equivalent to approximately 200 ml. They also underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans to assess cerebral white matter lesions, hippocampal volume, and total brain volume.
