Neuroscience is a multidisciplinary field involving the study of the structure and function of the nervous system. It aims to understand the development of cognitive and behavioral processes, as well as to understand various diseases (such as Alzheimer's or Parkinson's disease) and find treatments for them. Neuroscientists often need to use microscopy to study challenging and complex samples to better understand the nervous system. CD BioSciences offers a comprehensive range of MRT System Magnetom Prisma-based imaging solutions to enable you to overcome these challenges.
METHODS & EXPERTISE FOR RESEARCH INFRASTRUCTURE
The Siemens Magnetom Prisma 3 Tesla device is used to perform functional and structural MRI examinations with psychological or neurocognitive aims. This process, for example, examines which parts of the brain are active in certain tasks (e.g., reading, judging image material) to conclude about the underlying cognitive processes.
The magnetic resonance tomograph provides a flexible scanning width, which ranges from small measuring fields (e.g. within the brain) to whole-body images.
A special method in magnetic resonance tomography makes it possible to measure the diffusion movement of water molecules in the body or brain tissue. The so called Diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) is a non-invasive method that allows conclusions on the microstructural characteristics of the brain. DTI can, for example, be used to evaluate changes in the diffusion of water molecules into the white substance of the human brain (e.g. caused through training).

Our facility focuses on the recording and evaluation of imaging measurements in the following areas:
1. functional imaging while performing various tasks, such as visual word recognition, reading, visual object recognition and theory of mind (thoughts about the mental states of other people),
2. Investigation of diverse populations of subjects with specific characteristics such as dyslexic subjects, vegetative state patients, disorders of consciousness, mental and neurological disorders (schizophrenia, pathological gambling addiction, anorexia nervosa,..), comparison of age groups (reading in children, cognitive performance in advanced age,..),
3. Advertising effectiveness analyses with regard to the activation differences in auditory/visual advertising
4. Combination of magnetic resonance imaging with other methods, including electroencephalography, transcranial magnetic stimulation, transcranial direct current stimulation, eye movement measurements and hormone analysis

The magnet resonance imaging (MRI) or Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR), is a medical imaging technique, which creates through magnetic fields images of the anatomy and the physiological processes of the body. In the neuroradiology the MRT will be mainly used to gain detailed information about the brain, the cranial bone, the spine including the spinal disc, the spinal cord and the periphery nerves. Soft tissues like the brain and inner organs will be reflected on the MRT picture especially well differentiated and rich in contrast, so that details of even millimeter size are still visible.
The Siemens Magnetom Prisma is currently one of the most modern 3,0 Tesla Magnetresonanztomographen. The device contains a gradient strength of 80mT/m with a minimum rise rate of 200mT/m as well as over 64 high frequency canals and the Tim-Technology. The device offers a wide field of application in the area of functional and structural imaging, but also special methods like the diffuse-weighted trac
