Visualizing the Mind: How We See the Brain Through Functional MRI
Last year, Harvard College senior Kelsey Ichikawa (shown in the photo above) interviewed the Martinos Center’s Bruce Rosen and Bruce Fischl for a general audience article about functional MRI, which she was writing for a science journalism course. Earlier this year, the article won the Harvard Bo...
Artificial Intelligence Improves Treatment Monitoring in Patients with Glioma
This year, some 78,000 primary brain and other central nervous system (CNS) cancers will be diagnosed in the US alone. Researchers are actively developing new therapies for glioma, the most common type of primary brain tumor, but challenges remain in assessing whether patients are responding to t...
