Confocal scattered light scanning allows imaging of collagen content in 3D collagen gels, with scattered light intensity correlating with the concentration of collagen, and this approach could be used to image collagen content of soft tissue layers.

Elderly people process face information more slowly than young adults and have a less face-sensitive N170 occipital-temporal EEG component, according to a single-trial event-related potential study.

Brain imaging reveals a thickened brain cortex after regular playing of the videogame Tetris, while cortical activation observed during play decreases slightly with practice, in areas distinct from those showing maximum structural change.
