Martinos Responds: Nurse practitioner Amy Kendall redeploys to help with COVID-19 study
The Martinos Center's Amy Kendall wanted to contribute to the COVID-19 response. When imaging studies at the Center were put on hold for social distancing reasons, she asked if she could be redeployed to the Ragon Institute at MGH, MIT and Harvard to help with a biospecimen repository study with ...
White Matter Changes Could Predict Cognitive Decline in Alzheimerās Disease
Alzheimerās disease is diagnosed based on abnormal pathology of two proteins in the brain: amyloid and tau. Research suggests, however, that other factors may also play a role. In a paper published online this week in the journal Neurology, a team of investigators at the Athinoula A. Martinos Cen...
Martinos Cookbook
During the depths of the COVID-19 pandemic, members of the Martinos Center community came together to share the gift of food. The Martinos Cookbook collects more than 70 of the recipes they contributed, representing cuisines from around the world and covering every meal from throughout the day. ...

Advanced MRI of Spinal Cord Function Could Provide Important Information for the Treatment of Multiple Sclerosis
A team of investigators at the MGH Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging and Vanderbilt University Medical Center has reported a new approach to measuring spinal cord function that could help in more accurately understanding the degree of spinal cord damage in relapsing-remitting multiple sclero...
Understanding Eye-contact Avoidance in People With Autism
Individuals with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) often have difficulty looking others in the eyes. This is typically interpreted as a sign of social and personal indifference, but self-reports from people with autism suggests otherwise. Many say that looking others in the eye is uncomfortable or s...
Optical Imaging Method Can Determine Cannabis Intoxication, According to New Study
Ultrahigh-field MRI Tracks Development of Cortical Lesions in Multiple Sclerosis Patients
The development of lesions in the brainās cortical gray matter is a strong predictor of neurological disability for people with multiple sclerosis (MS), according to a study reported today in the journal Radiology. The findings suggest a role for ultrahigh-field MRI in monitoring the progression ...
A&E Series Highlights Imaging Study of Dissociative Identity Disorder Patient
The Martinos Centerās Robert Savoy is slated to appear in the final episode of the 6-part A&E series āThe Many Sides of Janeā airing on the network tonight (Tuesday, February 19). The series follows Jane Hart,Ā a 28-year-old mother of two with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID, formerly c...
Nanodiamond-enhanced MRI: A Dazzling New Approach to Imaging
Nanodiamonds ā synthetic industrial diamonds only a few nanometers in size ā have recently attracted considerable attention because of the potential they offer for the targeted delivery of vaccines and cancer drugs as well asĀ for other uses. Thus far, options for imaging nanodiamonds have been li...
New Software Improves Ability to Determine the Cause of Stroke
Determining the cause of an ischemic stroke is critical to preventing a second oneĀ and is a primary focus in the evaluation of stroke patients. But for all theĀ importance of identifying the cause, physicians have long lacked a robust and objective means to doĀ so. Now a team of investigators at...
How iPads and Other Tablet Devices Could Improve Communication Skills in People With Autism
In recent years researchers have gained an increased understanding of the relationship between motor skills and the development of language, particularly in autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Given the core deficit in verbal communication in children and adults on the spectrum, the improved understa...
Acupuncture Yields Improved Outcomes in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Though the practice of acupuncture predates current understanding of physiology by several millennia, it often provides measureable improvements in health outcomes, particularly in the area of chronic pain. Now, in a study reported in the journal Brain, a team of investigators based at theĀ Athino...
Understanding the Patient-Clinician Relationship with ‘Hyperscanning’ fMRI
The quality of the patient-clinician relationship is widely held to impact a patientās response to treatment. Exactly how, though, has long remained a mystery. In a study reported in October 2020, Martinos Center researchers began to explore the questions of which parts of the brain and which typ...
Center for Mesoscale Mapping
Brain science tools have advanced in several distinct directions. Advanced tools in molecular biology now allow neuroscientists to study distinct patterns of gene expression in individual neural cells, leading to the potential for a comprehensive atlas of cell types. In parallel, tools that allow...
The Epigenetics of Aging: Understanding neurodegeneration at the gene transcription level
Over the past century, life expectancy has doubled. Consider for a moment the impact of this factoid on our interpretation of the aging brain. Prior to the 20thcentury ā indeed, throughout nearly all of history ā there was likely no evolutionary pressure for humans to live beyond reproductive age...
New Bedside MRI Scanner Inspired by Martinos Center Research
Fundamental research by Professor Matthew Rosen, Director of the Low-Field Imaging Laboratory in the MGH Martinos Center, contributed to the early development of a new portable MRI scanner by Hyperfine Research Inc. The potentially game-changing technology will be introduced this week at the Amer...
Optics Technologies Could Advance Neuromonitoring During Heart Surgery
A team of researchers at the MGH Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging has reported an innovative light-based technique that could help reduce the incidence of neurological injury during aortic arch replacement and other cardiac surgeries. Deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA) is a techn...
