Novel PET Radiotracer Offers Possible ‘Smell Test’ for Dementia
Olfactory health – how well we are able to smell – is a reliable marker of the health of the brain, but the “smell identification tests” commonly used in studies of olfactory health do not offer a complete picture of what is happening. Now, using a novel PET radiotracer called Neuroflux, a team o...
A&E Series Highlights Imaging Study of Dissociative Identity Disorder Patient
The Martinos Center’s Robert Savoy is slated to appear in the final episode of the 6-part A&E series “The Many Sides of Jane” airing on the network tonight (Tuesday, February 19). The series follows Jane Hart, a 28-year-old mother of two with Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID, formerly c...
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...
