A Queensland clinic is transforming mental health treatment by scanning brains first, then targeting therapy with magnetic fields, ketamine, and psilocybin. Patients who suffered for decades are sleeping through the night and living without pain for the first time.
A groundbreaking AI model trained on nearly 50,000 brain scans can now detect multiple conditions—from Alzheimer's to autism—with remarkable accuracy, needing up to 10 times less training data than traditional models. This free, open-source tool is already helping researchers worldwide unlock hidden clues in everyday medical scans.
Scientists analyzed over 500 brain scans and discovered that five different psychedelic drugs create remarkably similar patterns of brain activity. This breakthrough could speed up the development of new mental health treatments for depression, anxiety, and addiction.
Scientists created the largest brain reference map ever using scans from 54,000 people worldwide. The tool works like a growth chart for your brain, helping doctors spot early signs of Alzheimer's, schizophrenia risk, and other conditions.
New brain scan research on over 1,100 children reveals ADHD may have three distinct subtypes, opening doors to personalized treatment. This discovery could help millions get more targeted support based on their unique brain patterns.
Researchers discovered a previously unknown waste removal system in the human brain that could transform how we understand and treat Alzheimer's and other brain diseases. The breakthrough came from watching fluid movement in real time using advanced MRI technology.
Scientists expected to find inflammation in long COVID brains, but scans revealed something different. The discovery could change how millions of patients get treated.
Scientists scanned dogs' brains and discovered our four-legged friends really can tell the difference between happy faces and negative emotions like fear or sadness. The findings reveal that thousands of years living alongside humans gave dogs a unique ability to read our feelings.
Scientists have identified three distinct types of ADHD using brain scans, including a more severe form that could help explain why some kids struggle more than others. This breakthrough could transform how doctors diagnose and treat millions of children.
Scientists discovered that digital brain models work better when brain regions compete for resources, just like in real life. This breakthrough could revolutionize personalized medicine and help more treatments succeed in human trials.
Scientists in Melbourne discovered a specific brain circuit that explains why common PTSD treatments work brilliantly for some patients but fall short for others. The breakthrough could help millions get therapy that actually matches their brain's needs.
A 60-year-old woman walked into a Chennai hospital barely conscious with a ruptured brain aneurysm and walked out weeks later thanks to a groundbreaking wrist-based procedure. The innovative approach avoided open brain surgery and helped her recover faster.
Scientists in China taught people to fly with VR wings, and brain scans revealed something astonishing. The brain started treating the fake wings as real body parts after just one week of practice.
Stanford researchers used brain imaging to identify two biological subtypes of migraine headaches, a breakthrough that could end the guesswork in treating one of the world's leading causes of disability. The discovery may help millions of patients get the right treatment from day one.
Scientists discovered a way to spot brain damage in living athletes, opening the door to treatments that could prevent a devastating condition affecting thousands of former contact sport players. The breakthrough could transform how we protect athletes before irreversible harm occurs.
Scientists at University of Rochester developed a gene therapy that uses the brain's natural cleaning system to deliver treatments throughout the brain, avoiding one of medicine's toughest obstacles. The breakthrough could transform treatment for multiple sclerosis, Huntington's disease, and rare childhood brain disorders.
A Bengaluru biotech company is transforming discarded coffee husks into a prebiotic fiber that may protect brain health through gut bacteria. The science-backed innovation tackles farm waste while advancing research into the powerful gut-brain connection.
Scientists in Berlin have created a lightweight MRI antenna that captures crystal-clear images of the eye and brain, potentially making scans faster and more comfortable for patients. The device works with existing hospital equipment, meaning hospitals won't need expensive upgrades to use it.
Scientists at UC Irvine found a way to predict which antidepressants will work best for individual patients using brain imaging and behavioral tests. The approach increased treatment success rates by 67 percent compared to traditional trial and error methods.
Scientists can now identify the brain's language network even when you're not speaking, reading, or listening—a breakthrough that could revolutionize treatment for speech disorders and brain injuries. The discovery came from analyzing nearly 2,000 brain scans across 1,199 people.
