Blood Flow Examined Through MRI Proves Valuable Test for Schizophrenia
Blood flow in an individual can be a valuable and informative tool for researchers. In a recent Science Daily release, doctors are relying on a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique known as continuous arterial spin labeling (CASL) to map cerebral blood flow patterns in schizophrenic patients quickly and without the need for radiation or contrast [...]
Research Examines Brain Cell Development to Determine Schizophrenia Causes
While research has come leaps and bounds in identifying root causes of schizophrenia, there are still major breakthroughs that have not yet been accomplished in linking genetics to diagnosis, prognosis and treatment. Science Daily recently published a release highlighting work done by Jill Morris, PhD assistant professor of Pediatrics at Northwestern University’s Feinberg School of [...]
