Pasadena, California: There is further hope for people suffering from severe brain injuries resulting in aphasia or loss of language: neurosurgeons can now pinpoint the damaged brain tissue using the magnetic fields generated by each electrical impulse in the brain.
William Sutherling, a neuroimaging expert at the nonprofit Huntington Medical Research Institutes (HMRI) in Pasadena uses one of only a few dozen magnetoencephalography (MEG)machines in the world to measure the vanishingly faint magnetic fluctuations generated by the brain, and combining that data with 3-D information from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
