When you zone out after pulling an all-nighter, the brain flushes out cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), which surrounds the brain ...

Using an ultra-high-resolution imaging technology called 7 Tesla functional MRI (fMRI) on human participants, researchers ...

There are many reasons why a 79-year-old man might need to get an MRI scan of his brain, some benign, some more concerning.

We're all familiar with the feeling of zoning out, especially when we're sleep-deprived. A new study suggests these brief ...

Scientists found that attention lapses due to sleep deprivation coincide with a flushing of fluid from the brain.

New research shows that during moments of lost focus after poor sleep, the brain releases a wave of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF)—the same cleansing process that normally occurs during deep sleep.

Brain volume and function are altered in individuals with opioid use disorder, a new Yale study finds. Using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and functional MRI (fMRI), researchers observed the ...

A comparison of human brain scans using the NexGen 7T MRI at higher resolution (left) vs a conventional 7T scanner (middle) and the standard 3T hospital scanner (right). With higher resolution, ...

Hospital MRI scanners, using 3 Tesla magnets, provide poor spatial resolution in brain imaging. More recent 7T MRIs are better but used mainly in the rare research lab. Scientists have now ...
