Researching the Brain, Seeking Cures | Research Tools | Washington University in St. LouisA Yale-led team of researchers developed a new approach to scanning the brain for changes in synapses that are associated with common brain disorders. The technique may provide insights into the diagnosis and treatment of a broad range of disorders, including epilepsy and Alzheimer’s disease.
Researching the Brain, Seeking Cures | Research Tools | Yale UniversityPrism goggles trick the brain into rewiring the visual cortex, providing insight into its plasticity.
Researching the Brain, Seeking Cures | Research Tools | University of California, IrvineWithout having to learn new technical skills or adapt to changes in the operating room, surgeons get a better view of blood flowing inside vessels and a better view of tissues, thanks to new microscopy technology developed at the UA.
Researching the Brain, Seeking Cures | Research Tools | The University of ArizonaA new technology has promise to safely find buried plastic explosives and maybe even spot fast-growing tumors. The technique involves the clever interplay of microwaves and ultrasound to develop a detector like the Star Trek tricorder.

Researching the Brain, Seeking Cures | Research Tools | The Pennsylvania State UniversityIn a new paper in Tissue Engineering: Part C, Brown University researchers describe a relatively accessible method for making a working – though not thinking – sphere of central nervous system tissue. The advance could provide an inexpensive and easy-to-make 3-D testbed for biomedical research.
Researching the Brain, Seeking Cures | Research Tools | Brown UniversityScientists have developed a faster, cheaper and more biologically relevant way to screen drugs and chemicals in the developing brain.
