Iron and myelin are primary susceptibility sources in the human brain. These substances are essential for a healthy brain, and their abnormalities are often related to various neurological disorders. Recently, an advanced susceptibility mapping technique, which is referred to as χ-separation (pronounced as "chi"-separation), has been proposed, successfully disentangling paramagnetic iron from diamagnetic myelin.

- The gut microbiota plays a significant role in maintaining immune health and brain function, with emerging research linking it to cognitive decline and dementia in older adults.
- The study explored the effects of a specific gut bacterium, Agathobaculum butyriciproducens SR79, on cognitive impairment in aged mice, using various behavioral tests to assess changes in cognitive performance.
- Results indicated that SR79 improved cognitive function in aged mice without affecting other behaviors, and it influenced brain health by altering dendritic spines and reducing astrocyte activation, suggesting it could be a promising treatment for age-related cognitive decline.
There has been a long-standing demand for noninvasive neuroimaging methods that can detect neuronal activity at both high temporal and high spatial resolution. We present a two-dimensional fast line-scan approach that enables direct imaging of neuronal activity with millisecond precision while retaining the high spatial resolution of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This approach was demonstrated through in vivo mouse brain imaging at 9.

This method can generate an in vivo whole-brain myelin water fraction map in approximately 10 minutes. It has been applied in various applications including neurodegenerative disease, neurodevelopmental, and neuroplasticity studies.
