British brain researchers created a brain scanner in the style of a wearable bike helmet in order to better study brain development in young children. Researchers at the Sir Peter Mansfield Imaging Center at the University of Nottingham, along with researchers from the University of Oxford and University College London, utilized magnetoencephalography (MEG) technology with […]

Tiny bubbles get past blood-brain barrier for targeted drug delivery
The blood-brain barrier plays an important role in protecting the human brain from harmful toxins. But it also stops potentially helpful drugs from reaching the brain. Now, researchers believe that tiny bubbles loaded with drugs and delivered using ultrasound could overcome the obstacles presented by the protective network of vessels. Researchers at the University of […]
