...tomography (PET) is a widely used research tool to map normal brain and heart function. Recently, it has proven beneficial in assisting physicians in selecting therapies by visualizing a patient's heart metabolism. The PET and Recovery Following Revascularization (PARR-2) study looked at patients with ...Research could lead to treatment for Alzheimer's disease
...st to use a method called X-ray crystallography to map the structure of Ghosh's designed inhibitor bound to the enzyme. This revealed information necessary to move the research forward and develop molecules that could be used in drugs. "The moment we had the crystal structure, we knew exactly how the i...How plastic is your brain? UH engineer seeks answers
.... When studying the visual cortex, an orientation map tells researchers what part of the cortex prefers objects oriented to specific angles, such as horizontally and vertically aligned objects. Using standard tools, it traditionally takes scientists hours to create a single orientation map. They th...Transcontinental wildfire emissions monitored from space
