New imaging method allows Stanford scientists to identify specific mental states
2011-05-26
STANFORD, Calif. — New clues to the mystery of brain function, obtained through research by scientists at the Stanford University School of Medicine, suggest that distinct mental states can be distinguished based on unique patterns of activity in coordinated "networks" within the brain.

Several abstracts on gout reveal true burden of disease and highlight promising new treatments
