Functional MRI Marker Can Diagnose Migraine without Aura
Human Whole-Brain Diffusion MRI Dataset Available Online
Reported by Fuyixue Wang and colleagues, it is the first publicly available reference dataset acquired in vivo at submillimeter resolution.
Eric Gale
Dr. Gale applies chemistry to solve unmet challenges in radiology and biomedical imaging. A major area of current focus is developing magnetic resonance imaging probes to non-invasively map and quantify pathologic change at the molecular level. His group is capitalizing on the transition metal p...
Andre van der Kouwe
Dr. van der Kouwe does research in the field of MRI pulse sequence design and image analysis. He supports neuroscience research at the MGH and collaborating institutions by improving acquisition methods, providing techniques such as high-reliability imaging for quantitative brain morphometry with...
Lilla Zollei
Dr. Lilla Zollei's research focuses on the design and development of quantitative analysis tools for neuroscientific problems.

Open-Source Tool Performs Whole-Brain Segmentation of Longitudinal MRI Scans
David Salat
The overarching aim of Dr. Salat's work is to understand mechanisms of neural disease and to implement novel approaches to reduce the impact of disease on the brain, cognition and clinical status. Clinically, there are two main clinical foci to his research. At the MGH Martinos Center, he directs...

Bruce Rosen on the Advanced Imaging Technologies Coming to the Martinos Center
In this video, Center director Bruce Rosen, MD, PhD, describes several cutting-edge technologies that will advance research in the center and elsewhere in the coming years: the “Connectome 2.0” MRI scanner recently installed in the center, a PET insert for the center’s ultrahigh-field (7T) MRI sc...
Uncovering ‘Covert Consciousness’ in Brain Injury Patients
In a paper published in the journal Brain last month Brian Edlow and colleagues reported a study in which they used the imaging techniques functional MRI and EEG to detect ‘covert consciousness’ in the intensive care unit. We checked in with Edlow, associate director of the Center for Neurotechno...
Robert Barry
Dr. Barry's research aims to maximize the utility of high-field MR scanners to improve our understanding of central nervous system function and networks in normal and pathological populations. A focus of this work has been on the development and validation of methods for the acquisition, processi...

Understanding the Patient-Clinician Relationship with ‘Hyperscanning’ fMRI
The quality of the patient-clinician relationship is widely held to impact a patient’s 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...
20 Years of FreeSurfer
It’s a sunny day in Southern California and the developers of FreeSurfer—a suite of software tools for the analysis of neuroimaging data—are preparing for a training session to introduce scientists to the many benefits of the package. To help the scientists find the classroom they have hung “Free...
