Obtaining clearer functional MRI data about the brain and its disorders is possible using artificial intelligence, according to Boston College researchers who report in Nature Methods that they have ...

A new study challenges the long-standing belief that episodic and semantic memory rely on distinct brain systems.

A new study of brain activity patterns in people doing a memory task finds that the way we make inferences changes dramatically as we age. Members of Alison Preston’s research group study fMRI brain ...

'Practice makes perfect' may be a cliché but a new brain study out of York U affirms this age old theory. In this study, Faculty of Health researchers were looking at fMRI brain scans of professional ...

For decades, treating major depression has involved a frustrating cycle of trial and error, with patients cycling through medications and therapies while clinicians rely on symptoms and intuition more ...
