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.

Scientists using precision fMRI have revealed that the human motor cortex alternates between effector-specific regions and a somato-cognitive action network (SCAN) linked to whole-body action planning ...

Researchers identified a retinal disease to evaluate the success of gene and cell replacement therapy. In the retinas of human eyes, the cones are photoreceptor cells responsible for color vision, ...

ATLANTA — New research by a team at Georgia State University is uncovering surprising insights about brain pathways that could offer alternative ways for practitioners to identify early signs of ...

A three-dimensional magnetic resonance image of a macaque monkey head. Inset: A schematic of the combination of cortical field maps of tactile stimulation obtained using fMRI (red and green squares) ...

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 ...

Researchers discover that language and Theory of Mind originate in separate brain regions in children, challenging theories of overlapping cognitive development.

Findings reveal distinct neural networks for language and empathy in children, indicating these functions are independently ...

Researchers using fMRI scans have found that in young children, brain regions for language and for understanding others’ thoughts are distinct, mirroring adult brain organization. The study challenges ...

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 ...
