Sentences with phrase «investigating brain connectivity»

Investigating brain connectivity heritability in a twin study using diffusion imaging data.

Neuroimaging methods provide a powerful tool to investigate brain connectivity, and have been widely applied to study the mutual relationship between structural and functional connections between brain regions in healthy subjects and in patients.

The authors used functional magnetic resonance imaging to investigate connectivity in two brain networks involved in social processing: theory of mind (ToM, otherwise known as the mentalizing system, which allows an individual to infer what others are thinking, their beliefs, their intentions) and the mirror neuron system (MNS, which allows people to understand the meanings and actions of others by simulating and replicating them).

In this study, the researchers aimed to investigate task related brain activity and functional connectivity patterns following onset of a regional anesthetic nerve block during continuous noxious dental stimulation.

A group of researchers at the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology at Illinois, led by psychology professor Aron Barbey and postdoctoral researcher Tanveer Talukdar, investigated whether individual differences in brain connectivity were associated with decision - making, using functional MRI and a comprehensive test of decision - making.

The Center's 3T Siemens Skyra scanner offers a variety of techniques for investigating anatomy, function and connectivity in traumatic brain injury, multiple sclerosis, spinal cord injury and stroke, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), functional MRI and diffusion tensor imaging.

These 2 modalities were used to investigate connectivity within the default mode network, a set of brain regions — including medial prefrontal cortex (MPFC), medial temporal lobes (MTLs), and posterior cingulate cortex (PCC) / retropslenial cortex (RSC)-- implicated in episodic memory processing.

Resting - state functional magnetic resonance imaging allows investigating whole - brain connectivity changes during pharmacological modulation of the level of consciousness.Low - frequency spontaneous blood oxygen level - dependent fluctuations were measured in 19 healthy volunteers during wakefulness, mild sedation, deep sedation with clinical unconsciousness, and subsequent recovery of consciousness.Propofol - induced decrease in consciousness linearly correlates with decreased corticocortical and thalamocortical connectivity in frontoparietal networks (i.e., default - and executive - control networks).

Her research project at the GRID Lab, which is affiliated with the Center for Sensorimotor Neural Engineering (CSNE), investigated how learning to use a BCI affects connectivity in the brain beyond the BCI implantation site.
