MRI technique reveals genes’ roles in learning and memory
Viewing brain activity at the molecule level
March 26, 2014
MIT bioengineers have adapted MRI to visualize gene activity inside the brains of living animals.
Tracking these genes with MRI would enable scientists to learn more about how the genes control processes such as forming memories and learning new skills, saysAlan Jasanoff, an MIT associate professor of biological engineering and leader of the research team.
“The dream of molecular imaging is to provide…read more
