Revolutionary Brain Imaging: 64 Million Times Sharper Scans Unveil Unprecedented Detail.

Researchers have developed a new MRI imaging technology that dramatically improves the resolution of brain images, leading to the sharpest images ever generated of the mouse brain. The new images are 64 million times smaller than a clinical MRI voxel, allowing researchers to visualize microscopic details within the brain that reveal its organization. The refined MRI provides an important new way to visualize the connectivity of the entire brain at record-breaking resolution, leading to a better understanding of conditions in humans, such as how the brain changes with age, diet, or even with neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s.
