NIH funds brain PET imaging technology
A group led by researchers at the University of Arizona has received a $4 million grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to develop multitracer brain PET imaging technology.The technology could allow clinicians to detect multiple biomarkers at once and improve the spatial resolution of brain imaging for applications in cancer as well as neurodegenerative disease, according to principal investigator Lars Furenlid, PhD, a professor of medical imaging at the University of Arizona.In PET imaging, radiotracers that bind to specific disease targets are injected into the body and detected by PET cameras as the tracers...

Multivitamins Are Linked to Slower Brain Aging
Aging is inevitable, but that doesn’t stop us from trying to slow it down. And the easier the intervention, the better. In a study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, researchers report that taking a multivitamin that you can buy at the pharmacy can slow cognitive decline associated with aging by as much as two years. The trial is part of a series led by scientists at Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Women’s Hospital that compared people 60 years or older taking Centrum Silver to those taking a placebo. It was funded by the National Institutes of Health and Mars Edge—a bra...

Researchers to use MRI for epilepsy surgery decision-making
Vanderbilt University Medical Center (VUMC), Vanderbilt University, and University of Pennsylvania researchers received a $3.5 million grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to collaborate on the development of new brain network-based tools for epilepsy surgery decision-making.VUMC said current clinical tools guiding surgical decisions are limited, in part because of an incomplete understanding of brain connectivity patterns in focal epilepsy. The newly funded project will combine MRI structural and functional connectivity analyses with intracranial recordings and neurostimulation measures. The goal is to devel...

UMass Amherst wins grant to compare predictive Alzheimer's models
A University of Massachusetts Amherst biomedical imaging and data science team has secured a grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to develop a deep-learning model for predicting Alzheimer’s disease at least two years before symptom onset. Principal investigators are Madalina Fiterau, PhD, of the university's Manning College of Information and Computer Sciences, and Joyita Dutta, PhD, of its Biomedical Imaging and Data Science Lab (BIDSLab). The team will use brain MRIs taken in real-world settings and multimodal clinical data to create predictive models for Alzheimer's. As part of the announcement, they n...
