Diverse Applications of Functional MRI in Brain Research
Author(s): Gabriel Lazaro*
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging stands at the forefront of non-invasive brain imaging techniques, offering unparalleled insights into the functioning of the human brain. By measuring changes in blood flow and oxygenation levels, fMRI provides researchers with a powerful tool to map brain activity, study neural networks, and explore the underlying mechanisms of various cognitive processes. This review delves into the diverse applications of functional MRI in brain research, highlighting its contributions to understanding brain functions, neurological disorders, cognitive processes, and clinical applications. One of the foundational applications of functional MRI is mapping brain functions. By observing changes in blood flow and oxygenation, researchers can identify specific brain regions associated with different tasks, emotions, and sensory experiences. For instance, during lang..
