The new Center for Brain Health at UT Health San Antonio, set to open in December, will have the state's first Siemens MAGNETOM 7-Tesla Terra.X magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system with a magnetic field strength more than 140,000 times that of Earth.

When older adults living in nursing homes are prescribed the pain medicine tramadol alongside certain antidepressants, their risk of seizures may go up, according to a study published October 8, 2025, in Neurology^®, the medical journal of the American Academy of Neurology.

A study led by Dr. Amy Margolis of The Ohio State University in collaboration with researchers at the Child Mind Institute identifies four distinct profiles of Nonverbal Learning Disability (NVLD), providing evidence that may help refine diagnostic criteria and guide more individualized approaches to care for children and families. The study analyzed data from 180 children, and results showed that NVLD is not a uniform condition but instead presents in a variety of ways, with each profile linked to different strengths and challenges. These findings add weight to recent proposals to reconceptualize the condition as Developmental Visual-Spatial Disorder (DVSD), reflecting its core deficit in visual–spatial reasoning.
