In the two decades since the human genome was first sequenced, scientists have learned much about how the genome is organized and how widely it varies between people around the globe. A better view of how that genetic variation influences…

Precise mapping shows how brain injuries inflict long-term damage
Researchers have shown how forces acting on the brain during traumatic injury are linked to damage seen years after the initial trauma. The findings, from a cross-disciplinary team at Imperial College London, could be used to predict the severity of…

Mapping a life’s worth of changes in a mysterious brain structure
Until recently, scientists didn’t know much about perivascular spaces (PVS), fluid-filled regions in the brain involved in clearing waste and toxins—mainly because it’s tough to get a clear look at them using neuroimaging. But as technology evolves, researchers are finding…
