Researchers win $13m grant for next-gen fMRI
Researchers at the University of California, Berkeley have been awarded a $13.4 million grant after developing a new functional magnetic resonance imaging system with 20 times the resolution of traditional fMRI machines, according to a new report.
The $13.4 million comes from the National Institute of Health’s BRAIN initiative grant, and will help researchers develop the NexGen 7T fMRI machine by 2019, according to the report.
The resolution of the device would allow the machine to focus down to a region the size of a poppy seed, researchers said, which would allow imaging of neuron clusters involved in the same type of ...

The Smallest Part in the World
Micromolded parts continue to get smaller and smaller. They are also getting more precise with details nearly invisible. MTD Micro Molding successfully molded an EVA ophthalmic part that weighs in at about one-tenth the weight of a poppy seed. It is an ophthalmic implant for glaucoma treatment. This feat required MTD’s Sarix technology to make a precise gate needed for such a tiny part. Even at 100X, the part is hardly visible.
In this downloadable white paper you will find out:

Researchers focused on ticks and the debilitating diseases they spread say the heavy snow that blanketed the Northeast this winter was like a cozy quilt for baby blacklegged ticks that are now questing for blood as the weather warms up. And a researcher at New York’s Binghamton University said Lyme disease-infected ticks aren’t just in forests and fields.

6 Whole Grains To Try
SPECIAL FROM Next Avenue
By Maureen Callahan
Including plenty of whole grains in your diet puts you at lower risk for diabetes, heart disease and certain kinds of cancer. Studies show it also can help trim belly fat and make statin drugs (that lower cholesterol) more effective.

We’re not talking about oatmeal, popcorn or ever-popular quinoa. Here are six lesser-known whole grains showing up on r...
