Amputees' brains remember missing hands
Integrative Neuroimaging Research
31 August 2016
Our brains have a detailed picture of our hands and fingers, and that persists even decades after an amputation, our researchers have found. The finding could have implications for the control of next generation prosthetics.

Oxford key to network of ultra-powerful MRI scanners
Integrative Neuroimaging
18 May 2016
Researchers at Oxford University are playing a key role in expanding the UK's network of ultra-powerful MRI machines. Oxford and Nottingham Universities have been pioneering research using so-called 'Ultra-high field' (UHF) MRI scanners, which are at the cutting edge of biomedical imaging. They are now joined by new systems in Cardiff, Cambridge and Glasgow.
Oxford scientists involved in world’s biggest body scanning project
Integrative Neuroimaging
14 April 2016
The world’s largest health imaging study, funded by the Medical Research Council, Wellcome Trust, and the British Heart Foundation is launched today. It will create the biggest collection of scans of internal organs, and transform the way scientists study a wide range of diseases.

Babies and adults show similar patterns of pain-related brain activity
Integrative Neuroimaging Research
21 April 2015
The brains of babies 'light up' in a very similar way to adults when exposed to the same painful stimulus, a pioneering Oxford University brain scanning study has discovered. It suggests that babies experience pain much like adults.
