Most human diseases can be traced to malfunctioning parts of a cell – a tumour is able to grow because a gene wasn’t accurately translated into a particular protein or a metabolic disease arises because mitochondria aren’t firing properly, for example. But to understand what parts of a cell can go wrong in a disease, […]
A new tool developed at the Kavli Institute for Systems Neuroscience in Norway and described in an article in Nature Neuroscience [1], predicts gaze direction and eye movement directly from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. The goal is to make eye-tracking diagnostics a standard in brain imaging research and hospital clinics.
