Not exact matches

Using functional magnetic resonance imaging — a technique that monitors brain activity in real time — the Johns Hopkins group found reversing a decision requires ultrafast communication between two specific zones within the prefrontal cortex and another nearby structure called the frontal eye field, an area involved in controlling eye movements and visual awareness.

Magnetic resonance imaging can be used to measure brain activity, but the process requires the subject to lie still, in a tightly enclosed area.

In a 2006 study by Montague and others, pairs of subjects had their brains scanned using functional magnetic resonance imaging, or MRI, as they played a game requiring them to take turns.

Abstract: Background: Little is known about the sample sizes required for clinical trials of Alzheimer's disease (AD)- modifying treatments using atrophy measures from serial brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the Japanese population.

It's potential as a biomarker of disease and an early objective marker of treatment response is genuine but still to be realized.Resting - state functional magnetic resonance imaging has made some strides in the clinical realm but significant advances are required before it can be used in a meaningful way at the single - patient level.

Categorically ruling out the presence of such disorders will require a variety of diagnostic steps, including a general physical and neurologic examination, blood chemistry and urine analyses, x-rays and perhaps magnetic resonance imaging.

In order to reach a diagnosis in these cases, full - thickness biopsies obtained through an exploratory surgery, (exploratory laparotomy) or non-invasive tests such as an MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) may be required.

When further tests are required, the next step may include magnetic resonance imaging (MRI); cerebrospinal fluid analysis (cell count, protein levels), serum titers for infectious diseases and electro - diagnostic tests.

To detect this relationship, the Neuroscience study compared functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) brain scans of 78 men and women between 18 and 40 years old with those subjects» performance on tests of cognitive performance that required «fluid intelligence» and «cognitive control.»
