SINGAPORE (The Straits Times/ANN): Over 1,000 scientists in the Asia-Pacific region are harnessing particle accelerators to look deep into the human brain. The ambitious effort has far-reaching implications, including unlocking more effective treatments for neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer's disease.
Using the extremely powerful x-rays generated by the massive machines, the scientists aim to produce a first-of-its-kind ultra-high resolution 3D comprehensive map of human brain at unprecedented speed.
