In a groundbreaking study published recently in the journal Nature, researchers at Vanderbilt University and Vanderbilt Health have created the first growth charts for white matter in the brain over a human lifetime. The work brings together nearly two decades of Vanderbilt research collaborations, the university’s extensive MRI data collections, and an advanced AI-enabled computing platform. Read More

Three seminal articles published in Magnetic Resonance in Medicine mark a landmark achievement in preclinical imaging science. These works, authored by an international consortium of 58 scientists, including Vanderbilt University’s Kurt Schilling, Bennett Landman, Adam Anderson, and Kevin Harkins, offer comprehensive guidelines for using diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) in preclinical research.
