MRI signals don’t always match the brain’s true activity levels, overturning a core assumption used in tens of thousands of studies.

The brain has a high energy demand and reacts very sensitively to oxygen deficiency. Ludwig-Maximilians-Universitaet (LMU) in Munich neurobiologists have now succeeded for the first time in directly ...

How active a living cell is can be seen by its oxygen consumption. The method for determining this consumption has now been significantly improved. The problem up to now was that the measuring ...

For almost three decades, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has been one of the main tools in brain research. Yet ...

Diagnosing mitochondrial disease (MD) is a challenge. In addition to genetic analyses, clinical practice is to perform invasive procedures such as muscle biopsy for biochemical and histochemical ...

Scientists at the University of Pennsylvania say they have developed a novel optical method that uses a pair of macromolecular phosphorescent probes for the real-time monitoring of cerebral metabolic ...

Oliver Baumann does not work for, consult, own shares in or receive funding from any company or organization that would benefit from this article, and has disclosed no relevant affiliations beyond ...

Hospital oxygen delivery systems handle massive volumes of gas, making even small leaks potentially costly. Detecting these ...

Contradiction to the prevailing paradigm in neuroimaging  - No general relationship between oxygen content and neuronal activity - Conventional MRI method should be complemented by quantitative ...
