Good News for PET Researchers: Radiotracer binding Is less sensitive to blood flow than previously thought
In a Journal of Cerebral Blood Flow & Metabolism paper published last month, the Martinos Center’s Christin Sander and colleagues resolved a longstanding question in positron emission tomography studies. PET has played a crucial role in receptor binding studies, shedding light on a range o...
MEG Method May Hold the Secret to Baldness
A variety of factors can stop hair from forming and growing properly, leading to hair diseases and baldness. A new method developed recently by investigators at the MGH Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging examines the activity of hair follicles and could be useful for testing the effects of di...
Acupuncture Yields Improved Outcomes in Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Though the practice of acupuncture predates current understanding of physiology by several millennia, it often provides measureable improvements in health outcomes, particularly in the area of chronic pain. Now, in a study reported in the journal Brain, a team of investigators based at the Athino...

Randy Gollub Named Chair-Elect of OHBM, Floats Idea of Ska Band’s Return
The Martinos Center’s Randy Gollub has been elected to be the next Chair of the Organization for Human Brain Mapping (OHBM), an international society launched by Center researchers a quarter century ago. She is delighted to be able to step into the role: not least because of the many “resonanc...
Moving Beyond Biopsy for Liver Fibrosis
Chronic liver disease is a growing health concern in the U.S. and around the world, with links to alcoholism, diabetes and even obesity. One of the early manifestations of the disease is fibrosis, an excessive buildup of scar tissue that results from repeated injury to the liver. While its effect...
Deep Learning Offers Quantitative Means of Monitoring Disease Progression in Retinopathy of Prematurity
Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is an eye disorder affecting roughly two-thirds of premature infants weighing less than 250 g at birth and one of the leading causes of childhood blindness worldwide. Historically, clinical diagnosis of ROP has been subjective, resulting in considerable variabilit...
Mesoscale Brain Mapping: Bridging Scales and Modalities in Neuroimaging
Recent advances both in the MGH Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging and elsewhere are driving the convergence of microscopic- and macroscopic-scale study of the brain for human translational neuroscience, by developing and applying tools to study the spatial distribution and temporal orchestra...
