Scientists from the CEITEC Masaryk University (MU) research centre have begun to make use of two unique scanners for visualising the functioning and structure of the brain and spinal cord with the help of nuclear magnetic resonance. Thanks to these instruments worth some 100 million Czech crowns scientists will be able to investigate a range of serious diseases such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s as well as epilepsy and schizophrenia and they will also be used to study the functioning of the healthy brain in research into the risky behaviour of drivers or the perception of music.
