In the first MRI-based study to investigate pre-natal alcohol exposure, researchers found significant changes in the brain structure of fetuses exposed to alcohol compared to healthy controls.

One MRI scan can now reveal how quickly you're aging. Faster aging links to poor memory, chronic illness, and earlier death.

He said the effects of alcohol on the brain lag behind ingestion by about 40 minutes, so it is easy to overdo it without realizing you have already had too much. Photo of a man who has had too ...

A new tool developed by researchers can estimate how fast someone is aging by analyzing a single MRI brain scan, predicting ...

In the name of science, eight men and seven women drank alcohol through a straw while lying in an MRI scanner, presumably not all together, to see what would happen. It went to their heads ...

Alcohol use leads to earlier brain aging and impaired behavioral flexibility, with those effects detectable even among adults ...

Treating alcohol-related brain damage. It can be difficult to hear, but most longtime alcohol abusers will have permanent brain damage, Dr. Rothenberg says. That’s why it’s crucial to get help ...

Researchers are seeking healthy volunteers to undergo magnetic resonance imaging scans of the brain. Participants will be paid $30 for the no-task scan (~45 minutes) or $50 or beyond for the optional ...

A 2022 study of more than 36,000 high-quality MRI brain scans found drinking four units of alcohol a day – two beers, or two glasses of wine – can cause structural damage and brain volume loss ...

Participants underwent MRI to determine brain iron levels. Areas of interest were deep brain structures in the basal ganglia. Mean weekly alcohol consumption was 17.7 units, which is higher than ...

Exposure to even low levels of alcohol while in the womb can change the structure of the fetus' brain, ... his team used MRI scans to assess the impact of drinking on 24 fetuses.
