A new technique that analyzes overlooked data from MRI scans reveals how many and which brain cells patients have—and shows where they’ve lost cells through injury or disease. Findings might aid diagnosis of brain conditions (Alzheimer’s, MS, TBI, autism) as well as shed light on brain development.
