Psychiatrists and neuroimaging experts gathered to explore one of the last remaining frontiers in radiology – the human mind – at the annual meeting of the French Society of Radiology (JFR) last October in Paris. Their conversation oscillated between neurons and narratives, algorithms and emotions – a vivid reminder that psychiatry is not only about understanding the brain, but about…
Researchers discovered that pineoblastoma, retinoblastoma and medulloblastoma – severe brain tumours in children that appear to be completely different – actually arise from the same type of cell.
Functional brain radiosurgery is an application of stereotactic radiosurgery (SRS), representing its newest clinical field. It is a precise, non-invasive medical technique using focused ionising radiation to precisely target specific brain structures to modulate brain function for neurological disorders, psychiatric conditions, or intractable pain. The technology offers “precision without…
A small but growing body of evidence suggests that a minimally invasive surgical procedure called lymphovenous anastomosis (LVA) might be an effective treatment for Alzheimer's disease.
“Each pregnancy leaves a unique mark on the female brain”: Research shows that mothers' brains distinctly change, not just during the first pregnancy, to better care for multiple children.
Clues in the CSF: Researchers have developed the first high-precision method that can theoretically diagnose common brain tumors in children and adolescents without surgery.
A new type of 3D imaging reveals how amyloid β (Aβ) deposits spread along blood vessels in the human brain. This could lead to targeted therapies for Alzheimer's disease and CAA.
People who suffer from a traumatic brain injury (TBI) often have lasting difficulties returning to work and may need long-term, multidisciplinary care, a new study shows.
A new kind of intraoperative MRI (iMRI) can perform functional MRI scans in real time during brain surgery — helping surgeons detect potential complications in as little as seven seconds.
Even after a blood clot is removed from a large brain artery via thrombectomy, administering the thrombolytic drug alteplase to the area may improve stroke recovery, a new trial from Spain shows.
Promising new research points to a new immunotherapy approach that could help preserve viable neurons in people with Parkinson’s disease.
Researchers report on decisive steps towards an early diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease: a newly discovered biomarker in the blood could open a window of opportunity for future treatment.
Women who had a stroke caused by blocked blood vessels (ischemic stroke) are twice as likely to have another stroke during pregnancy and within six weeks of childbirth, according to a new study.
Brain fog explained: People with ME/CFS and long Covid experience a disruption to their brain connectivity during a mentally demanding task, new research finds.
Non-invasive, millimetre-scale diffusion MRI (dMRI) can be used to detect morphological changes in axons – a common hallmark of a wide range of neurological disorders, new research shows.
To better diagnose patients who appear unconscious in ICUs, and predict their recovery potential, researchers developed a tool that integrates multiple modalities for analyzing consciousness.
Scientists from Northwestern University have developed an injectable regenerative nanomaterial that helps protect the brain during the vulnerable window after a stroke.
A new University of Toronto-led study has discovered a possible biomarker linked to multiple sclerosis (MS) disease progression that could help identify patients most likely to benefit from new drugs.
At the JFR 2025 (Journées Françaises de Radiologie), the annual meeting of the French Society of Radiology, an organist and a neuroradiologist came together to share a story that bridges two worlds rarely seen in dialogue – that of sound and that of images. One listens, the other looks. Yet both try to understand the same mystery: what happens in the human brain when music takes control?
A simple blood test that can very accurately predict the chance of survival with good recovery could be of great significance for patients in intensive care after a cardiac arrest.
A novel AI-based method can distinguish between progressive brain tumours and radiotherapy-induced necrosis on advanced MRI. This could help clinicians more accurately identify and treat the issues.
IDH mutated gliomas are slow-growing brain tumors with a relatively good prognosis. A new study shows that many patients reveal measurable cognitive impairment in the first year after treatment.
Depression is not only a disease of the mind or the brain, a new study finds: a research team has revealed deep connections to abnormalities in the body's overall immune response.
Philips and Cortechs.ai have extended their collaboration to integrate AI-enabled quantitative neuroimaging analytics directly into MR systems. The partnership aims to provide radiologists with automated, objective measurements of brain structures and lesions to support diagnosis and monitoring of neurological conditions.
New hope for patients with neurological diseases: A combination of focused ultrasound and gene therapy enables targeted, nonsurgical control of seizure-relevant brain regions.
