Inside a Yawn: Real‑Time MRI Reveals a Distinct Brain Fluid Response
Yawning is one of the most common human behaviours, yet it remains one of the least understood. Often dismissed as a sign of boredom or fatigue, yawning has long been suspected to play a physiological role in brain function. Now, a team of researchers at NeuRA Imaging has used real‑time MRI to capture what actually …
New Insights Into Chiari: What Happens During a Cough?
A team of researchers at NeuRA Imaging has captured the most detailed MRI footage to date of what happens inside the head and neck during a cough in people with Chiari malformation, challenging decades of assumptions about how the condition causes sudden, debilitating headaches. For years, clinicians have believed that cough‑triggered headaches in Chiari malformation …
Volunteers Needed for Child & Teen MRI Study at NeuRA
NeuRA Imaging is seeking children and teenagers aged 5–18 years to take part in an exciting new MRI research study. This project, part of the Paxinos Labs’ “Eight to Eighty” initiative, aims to build a living brain atlas using ultra‑high‑resolution MRI to map the ~1000 structures of the developing brain. Participants will attend four on‑site …
Unlocking Ultra‑High‑Resolution 3T MRI at NeuRA Imaging
NeuRA Imaging has introduced a powerful new AI‑driven MRI capability, acquiring the highest‑resolution anatomical images ever acquired on a 3T MRI scanner. A major software upgrade at NeuRA Imaging, courtesy of funding from the Australian National Imaging Facility, the National Collaborative Research Infrastructure Strategy (NCRIS), and NeuRA, has delivered unprecedented ultra‑high‑resolution brain scans on a …
Improving MRI Reproducibility: A Practical Guide for Researchers and Imaging Centers
Reproducibility remains one of the core challenges in modern MRI research. As datasets grow larger and more complex, the need for standardised workflows becomes increasingly important. These ideas were recently summarised in a scientific poster titled “Towards Best Practices for Reproducibility in Research MRI: A Blueprint for High‑Quality, Reproducible Workflows When Working With Big MRI …
RESEARCH SPOTLIGHT CRPS and the Brain: No Structural Damage Detected in New Research
The results suggest CRPS symptoms may stem from functional brain changes rather than permanent structural injury. A new study led by Dr Audrey Wang and colleagues at NeuRA has delivered a detailed examination of white matter structure in people with Complex Regional Pain Syndrome (CRPS). Recently published in the European Journal of Pain, the study …
