As reviewed above, fMRI has many potential advantages in studying patients with cognitive impairment. fMRI can be acquired on a standard clinical magnet during the same session as structural imaging.

Explore how functional MRI reveals brain activity by measuring BOLD response, a key indicator of internal processing and neural firing. The more the brain cells are firing, the more oxygen they use up ...

The pathophysiological process of Alzheimer's disease (AD) begins years, even decades, prior to the time a clinical diagnosis can be established. This long asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic phase ...

Using a checker Board Pattern and a blank Image as visual stimuli when the functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging scan is performed. Converting the images from DICOM to NIfTI format to be viewed with ...

An international team, led by researchers at the Champalimaud Foundation (CF), has shown – for the first time in a realistic way – that it may be possible to diagnose Parkinson’s disease (PD) years ...

Explore why Multivoxel Pattern Analysis (MVPA) is crucial in neuroimaging for analyzing fMRI brain scan results effectively. Because univariate voxel-wise tests and MVPA differ in their ability to ...

Using fMRI data collected from people viewing film clips, MIT neuroscientists created a comprehensive map of the cerebral cortex, identifying 24 networks that perform specific functions. The cerebral ...
