fMRI Signals Often Misread Neural Activity

fMRI signals don’t always match the brain’s true activity levels, overturning a core assumption used in tens of thousands of studies. In about 40% of cases, an increased fMRI signal appeared in regions where neural activity was actually reduced, while decreased signals sometimes showed up in areas with heightened activity.

AI Creates the Most Detailed 3D Map of the Human Brain Ever Made

A new AI-powered atlas called NextBrain allows researchers to visualize the human brain in unprecedented detail, down to hundreds of tiny subregions previously invisible on MRI scans. Built from 10,000 microscopic slices of post-mortem brains and aligned with AI, the atlas precisely maps 333 brain regions in 3D.
