Caption

Probes administered by eye drop attach to special cells during repair and cause them to have different magnetic movement, or magnetic resonance, when viewed by a magnetic resonance imaging scanner. The images generated by the MRI scanner make it possible to see these repair processes in action. This method is the first to provide scientists, clinicians, teachers, and students a means to visualize the process of brain repair in live subjects.
