The brain's ability to learn comes from "plasticity," in which neurons constantly edit and remodel the tiny connections called synapses that they make with other neurons to form circuits. To study plasticity, neuroscientists seek to track it at high resolution across whole cells, but plasticity doesn't wait for slow microscopes to keep pace and brain tissue is notorious for scattering light and making images fuzzy.

Genicular artery embolization (GAE) for mild-to-moderate knee osteoarthritis can reduce pain for patients for up to two years, according to an article published May 31 in Cardiovascular and Interventional Radiology. A follow-up study of patients who underwent the minimally invasive procedure suggested that GAE represents a valuable alternative in managing mild-to-moderate osteoarthritis patients, a group at University of Reading in the U.K. reported.

While cervical spine injuries (CSI) are uncommon in children, they can be potentially devastating, resulting in quadriplegia—paralysis below the neck affecting both arms and both legs. Detecting CSIs in a clinical setting often requires imaging such as X-rays and computed tomography (CT) scans, both of which expose children to radiation, which can cause other health issues over time.
