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 ...

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 ...

Patients with brain injury who are unresponsive to commands may perform cognitive tasks that are detected on functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and electroencephalography (EEG). This ...

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 ...
