Part of the book series: Syllabus ((SYLLABUS))

Abstract

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), a class of techniques that images intrinsic blood signal change with magnetic resonance (MR) imagers, has in the past 3 years become one of the most successful tools used to study cerebral blood flow and perfusion in the brain. Because changes in neuronal activity are accompanied by focal changes in cerebral blood flow (CBF), blood volume (CBV), blood oxygenation, and metabolism, these physiological changes can be used to produce functional maps of mental operations.
