Scientists have discovered a new method for quickly and efficiently mapping the vast network of connections among neurons in the brain. Researchers combined infrared laser stimulation techniques with functional magnetic resonance imaging in animals to generate mapping of connections throughout the brain. The technique was described in a study published in the journal Science Advances. “This is a revolution in detecting connections in the brain,” said senior author Anna Wang Roe, Ph.D., a professor in the Division of Neuroscience at OHSU’s Oregon National Primate Research Center. “The ability to easily map…

Although such diets are an effective means of cancer prevention, their possible roles in cancer progression and treatment remains poorly understood. A team of scientists from the Luxembourg Centre for…
