Oh @#$%! button lights up brain
We all make mistakes, and some cost more than others. It seems that your brain has a special compartment set aside to absorb these moments.

Using functional MRI, Dr. Stephan Taylor, an associate professor of psychiatry at the University of Michigan Medical School, and colleagues found that the rostral anterior cingulate cortex, or rACC, lights up when a person realizes he or she has made an error that carries consequences, such as losing money.
By contrast, the same area of the brain is virtually dormant when the mistake doesn't carry a penalty or when a correct action carries a reward.
Interestingly, obsessive-compulsive disorder patients had previously shown a more active rACC response compared with controls, but to a no-penalty error. Researchers want to use the same experiment with OCD patients to help pinpoint which of their brain circuits have gone awry (J Neurosci Apr 2006; 26:4063-4070).
Can Generative AI Facilitate Simulated Contrast Enhancement for Prostate MRI?
January 14th 2025Deep learning synthesis of contrast-enhanced MRI from non-contrast prostate MRI sequences provided an average multiscale structural similarity index of 70 percent with actual contrast-enhanced prostate MRI in external validation testing from newly published research.
Can MRI Have an Impact with Fertility-Sparing Treatments for Endometrial and Cervical Cancers?
January 9th 2025In a literature review that includes insights from recently issued guidelines from multiple European medical societies, researchers discuss the role of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in facilitating appropriate patient selection for fertility-sparing treatments to address early-stage endometrial and cervical cancer.
Surveillance Breast MRI Associated with Lower Risks of Advanced Second Breast Cancers
January 8th 2025After propensity score matching in a study of over 3,000 women with a personal history of breast cancer, researchers found that surveillance breast MRI facilitated a 59 percent lower risk in advanced presentations of second breast cancers.
New Survey Explores Radiologist and Neurologist Comfort Level with AI Triage for Brain MRI
January 7th 2025Survey results revealed that 71 percent of clinicians preferred adjunctive AI in facilitating triage of brain MRI scans and 58 percent were comfortable utilizing AI triage without input from radiologists.
