MRI Glove Provides New Look at Hand Anatomy

NYU Langone researchers have developed a new MRI system capable of delivering clear images of bones, tendons and ligaments in the hand. The MRI glove can capture high quality images of joints moving. Researchers say the glove may be useful in diagnosing repetitive strain injuries, such as carpal tunnel syndrome.

Study Challenges Conventional Belief About Origins of Multiple Sclerosis

A new study challenges conventional thought on the origins of multiple sclerosis. Researchers say biochemical injury to myelin appears to trigger an immune response that leads to additional damage as a result of inflammation. The new theory challenges the view that MS is primarily at autoimmune disease at origin.

No Future for Egotists – That’s What Their Brain Says

A new neuroimaging study reveals people who consider themselves to be egotistical have no increased activity in the ventromedial prefrontal cortex when they think about the distant future. By contrast, altruistic people have increased activity in this region when asked to consider the consequences of the distant future.
