Cardiff University in Wales has broken ground on a $70 million brain imaging center expected to be "unique within Europe," according to this BBC report.

A range of brain mapping techniques will be implemented to improve researchers' understanding of diseases like multiple schlerosis, schizophrenia and dementia. The Cardiff University Brain Research Imaging Centre (CUBRIC) will basically quadruple the University's current center and combine both anatomical and functional imaging systems. CUBRIC is expected to be completed in 2015.
