Produktinformationen "Beyond the Scan: Using rs-fMRI to Bridge the Gap Between Brain and Behavior"
For decades, neuroscientists have strived to understand the intricate link between the brain and behavior. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has been a powerful tool in this quest, allowing researchers to observe brain activity in real-time. However, traditional fMRI relies on participants performing specific tasks inside the scanner, limiting its ability to capture the brain's spontaneous activity. This is where resting-state fMRI (rs-fMRI) emerges as a groundbreaking technique. What is rs-fMRI? Unlike traditional fMRI, rs-fMRI doesn't involve specific tasks. Participants simply lie still inside the scanner, their minds free to wander. While seemingly uneventful, this "resting state" reveals a dynamic symphony of brain activity. By measuring blood oxygenation levels, rs-fMRI captures fluctuations in brain function, indicating which regions are communicating with each other. These interconnected networks are thought to underlie various cognitive processes, even when we're not actively engaged in a task.
