Researchers develop new neuroimaging technique to measure myelin insulation, brain repair.

An interdisciplinary team of researchers from the University of Rochester has used a new imaging technique to show how the human brain heals itself in just a few weeks following surgical removal of a brain tumour.  The team found that recovery of vision in patients with pituitary tumours is predicted by the integrity of myelin, the insulation that wraps around connections between neurons, in the … Continue reading Researchers develop new neuroimaging technique to measure myelin insulation, brain repair.
