A study highlights that patients retain only about 30% of therapy information and that habit formation can take months, suggesting that integrating simple tools like reminders and cues could improve the effectiveness and sustainability of psychological treatments by addressing memory gaps and promoting lasting behavior change.
A new MRI technique has been developed to effectively measure myelin content in brain tissue, which could help assess the progression of multiple sclerosis (MS) and evaluate the effectiveness of treatments. Traditional MRI is not sensitive enough to detect changes in myelin, but this new technique can accurately capture myelin integrity. The researchers validated the technique using brain tissue samples from individuals with MS, and it showed changes in both lesioned and undamaged areas. This technique has the potential to fill the unmet need for noninvasive imaging of myelin in clinical practice and aid in personalized therapy for MS patients.
