Pushing the boundaries: the breakthrough of 11.7 Tesla high-field magnetic resonance imaging
Imagine trying to understand a complex machine without ever being able to see its intricate inner workings. That's a bit like how scientists have been studying the human brain – a marvelously complex organ – until now. In contrast with Brain Bite's: “Accessible brain scanning for Alzheimer’s disease”. We travel to the other side of the magnetic field matter, in the company of the most powerful MRI scanner ever made.
Cracking the Visual Code: Unraveling GABA’s Influence on Vision
Amblyopia or "lazy eye" is a neurodevelopmental condition that is characterized by decreased vision in one of the eyes since the abnormal visual experience encountered during earlier childhood is an early childhood problem. Despite being a prevalent visual impairment, the underlying neural mechanisms remain elusive.
The main focus of this study is aimed at understanding whether GABA, an inhibitory neurotransmitter, has a hand in visual deficits in amblyopia.
