Unravelling the Mystery of Sleep Apnoea: How Dynamic MRI Helps Decode Tongue Muscle Behaviour
Have you ever wondered why some people experience interrupted breathing during sleep? It turns out that the way our tongue muscles behave during sleep plays a crucial role, and researchers at NeuRA are using dynamic MRI techniques to uncover the secrets behind this phenomenon. A recent study by a team of scientists at Neuroscience Research …
NeuRA Imaging: Advancing Knowledge in MRI Physics
NeuRA Imaging has hosted a series of educational sessions teaching the fundamentals of MRI Physics. Led by Philips Clinical Scientist, Iain Ball, the initial sessions of the course focused on the foundational aspects of MRI Physics. Topics covered included magnetism and magnetic fields, nuclear magnetic resonance, MR instrumentation, relaxation, spin density, and T1, T2, T2* …
RESEARCH SPOTLIGHT: Needles in a haystack – searching for a consistent placebo analgesia responder
We know that many people can experience placebo analgesia – but are these responses stable over time? Borrowing from the designs of longitudinal preclinical investigations, researchers at NeuRA, led by Professors Luke Henderson and Kevin Keay, have recently completed preliminary data collection investigating the consistency of placebo analgesia, combining genetic, behavioural, biological, and brain imaging …

RESEARCH SPOTLIGHT: Using Magnetic Resonance Elastography (MRE) To Define The Shear Properties Of Fat Under Load
We know that you have heard of MRI, but have you heard of MRE? Magnetic resonance elastography, or MRE as it is commonly known as, is an emerging MR technique that allows the stiffness of internal tissues to be measured quickly and noninvasively. Researchers at NeuRA, led by Professor Lynne Bilston, have recently published a …
