Purpose
To develop an efficient distortion‐ and blurring‐free multi‐shot EPI technique for time‐resolved multiple‐contrast and/or quantitative imaging.
Methods
EPI is a commonly used sequence but ...
Can Placebos Work—Even When Patients Know They’re Fake?
Researchers showed that a saline spray “treatment” reduced people’s emotional distress, even though the study subjects knew the spray wouldn’t do anything.
Multivariate genomic analysis of 1.5 million people identifies genes related to addiction, antisocial behavior, and health
Behaviors and disorders related to self-regulation, such as substance use, antisocial conduct, and ADHD, are collectively referred to as externalizing and have a shared genetic liability. We applied a multivariate approach that leverages genetic...

Can MRI measure myelin? Systematic review, qualitative assessment, and meta-analysis of studies validating microstructural imaging with myelin histology
Recent years have seen an increased understanding of the importance of myelination in healthy brain function and neuropsychiatric diseases. Non-invasive microstructural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) holds the potential to expand and translate...
A critical role for B cells in cancer immune surveillance
It is commonly believed that B cells play no role in cancer immune surveillance. However, this conclusion is based on studies using only a single B cell-deficient mouse strain, muMT mice, which does not show increased tumorigenesis compared with...

Neuronal Computation Underlying Inferential Reasoning in Humans and Mice
In humans and mice, the hippocampus supports inferential reasoning by computing a
prospective code to predict upcoming events, before extracting logical links between
discrete events during rest to form a mnemonic short cut for inferred...
