TL;DR

Researchers from Duke University have developed a new MRI technology that provides the sharpest images ever captured of a mouse brain, with a single voxel measuring just 5 microns, 64 million times smaller than a clinical MRI voxel. The refined MRI provides an important new way to visualize the connectivity of the entire brain at record-breaking resolution, which will lead to a better understanding of conditions in humans, such as how the brain changes with age, diet, or even with neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s.
