The American Institute of Ultrasound in Medicine (AIUM) developed a task force to develop a standardized consensus-based curriculum and competency assessment tools for OB-GYN ultrasounds, with the aim they would be used in residency programs.

A team of Italian researchers used resting-state fMRI to examine functional connectivity abnormalities in the brain in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). They wanted to see how abnormalities in cerebellar dentate nuclei (DNs) affect an individual’s balance, posture and muscle tone.

New research from a Spanish team of researchers used MRI to explore whether subclinical obsessive-compulsive symptoms in children could be related to the brain’s structure.

For the parents of a sick child, physicians unable able to make a firm diagnosis and move forward with treatment options can be infuriating—to put it lightly.  

The hills are alive with the sound of music, as the song goes—and so is your brain, according to new neuroimaging research by the National Institutes of Health (NIH). According to a recent article in Washington Post, the NIH is beginning to explore how the brain processes music partially due to an increase in using music in patient care programs and facilities.

Researchers have understood amyloid-Beta and tau proteins in the brain are early warning signs for Alzheimer’s disease. Atrophy in the hippocampus is another physical change in such patients. But a recent study examined the link between brain volume and protein deposits.

In rare cases, brain lesions can lead previously law-abiding individuals to criminal behavior. Researchers, led by Ryan Darby, MD, an assistant professor of neurology at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, examined MRI and CT scans to see if such injuries can lead to deteriorated decision-making and a disregard for morality.

A recent study published in the Journal of the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons (AAOS) found that females are more likely to experience sports-related concussions (SRCs) than males, narrowing the research gap of sex specific predictors of occurrence and recovery from SRCs.
