UCSF researchers developed a program that translates the hundreds of EEG traces into a 3-D movie showing activity in all recorded locations in the brain. The result is a multicolored 3-D heat map that looks very much like a meteorologist’s hurricane weather map.
CT scans for patients with concussion provide critical information about their risk for long-term impairment and potential to make a complete recovery – findings that underscore the need for physician follow-up.
UCSF researchers have found a way to double doctors’ accuracy in detecting the vast majority of complex fetal heart defects in utero.
A large study of brain MRI scans from 11,679 children between the ages of 9 and 10 reviewed by UC San Francisco neuroradiologists identified potentially life-threatening conditions in 1 in 500
The imaging technique for prostate cancer locates cancer lesions in the pelvic area and other parts of the body to which the tumors have migrated.
The UCSF researchers — whose work spans investigations into autism spectrum disorder (ASD), oncology, and mitochondrial disease — were among 85 awardees for the grants that the NIH says “will fund highly innovative and unusually impactful biomedical or behavioral research proposed by extraordinarily creative scientists.”
UCSF scientists assembled an international research team that has figured out how SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, hijacks proteins in host cells that serve as master regulators of key cellular processes.
UCSF researchers have become to the first to solve the structure of a hard-working protein that helps reload neurons for repeated firing.
The two from UCSF are among 120 new members elected to the Academy in 2020.
Fraser discussed science’s evolutionary arms race against bacteria when he delivered the 2020 Byers Award Lecture in Basic Science on March 3.
Artificial intelligence manages our phones and homes, helps us navigate, and advises us what to watch, read, listen to, and buy. Soon it will transform our health, says trauma surgeon and data-science expert Rachel Callcut.
Brain imaging of pathological tau-protein reliably predicts the location of future brain atrophy in Alzheimer’s patients a year or more in advance.
