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.

Climate change not main driver of amphibian decline. The study showed that, on average, 3.4 percent of amphibian species are disappearing from local amphibian habitats each year. That is the equivalent of losing half the species in any wetland, stream reach or forest site every 20 years
