The Neuroscience of Personal Space
We all have a need for personal space, the comfort zone we maintain around our bodies, implicitly entreating others not to encroach upon it. In recent years researchers have been probing the ways in which we regulate this space, looking at how and why our brains tell us when someone is simply ...
Matti HƤmƤlƤinen and the Music of MEG
Every Christmas back home in Finland, the Martinos Centerās Matti HƤmƤlƤinen gathers with friends for an evening of performing chamber music. He plays both flute and piano on these occasions; in more recent years he has explored the repertoire for āpiano four handsā with his former classmate Laur...
Learning to See: New Artificial Intelligence Technique Dramatically Improves the Quality of Medical Imaging
A radiologistās ability to make accurate diagnoses from high-quality diagnostic imaging studies directly impacts patient outcome. However, acquiring sufficient data to generate the best quality imaging comes at a cost ā increased radiation dose for computed tomography (CT) and positron emission t...
The Possible Role of Glow SticksāYes, Glow Sticksāin Treating Alzheimerās
A new imaging probe that could help to advance therapies for Alzheimerās disease draws its inspiration from an unlikely source. Research suggests that Alzheimerās is closely associated with increased levels of āreactive oxygen speciesā (ROS) in the brain, but actual, in vivo evidence of this h...
Nelson Gicana Receives Scholarship from Multicultural Professionals Group

The (Totally True) Legend of Thomas Witzel and the Ultrahigh-field MRI Quench
Sometimes we get the hero we need. In the summer of 2017, the 7T MRI scanner at the MGH Martinos Center suffered a quench: a sudden loss of superconductivity resulting in a complete loss of the scannerās magnetic field. In short, it broke. Without a magnetic field, the instrument was inoperabl...
