Statistical Parametric Mapping for Effects of Verapamil on Olfactory Connections of Rat Brain in Vivo using Manganese-enhanced MR Imaging.
Conclusion: We applied statistical parametric mapping using manganese-enhanced MR imaging to demonstrate in vivo the transport of manganese in the olfactory connections of rat brains with and without verapamil and found that verapamil did affect this transport.

Genetic variant increases risk of common type stroke
(Wellcome Trust) A genetic variant that increases the risk of a common type of stroke has been identified by scientists in a study published online in Nature Genetics today. This is one of the few genetic variants to date to be associated with risk of stroke and the discovery opens up new possibilities for treatment. (Source: EurekAlert! - Medicine and Health)
