Now this is still a theory that's being tested (the
brain is a very complicated matter), but Frankland and Greene completed
studies while monitoring the
brain through a functional magnetic resonance
imaging (fMRI) to understand
brain activity.
From
brain -
imaging studies, we also know the visual cortex becomes more active
while the area [in the
brain] responsible for empathy becomes less active.
In the new
study, the researchers used functional magnetic resonance
imaging (fMRI) to record
brain responses in sleeping babies
while they were presented with emotionally neutral, positive, or negative human vocalizations or nonvocal environmental sounds.
Using data from National Database for Autism Research (NDAR), lead author Kristina Denisova, PhD, Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at CUMC and Fellow at the Sackler Institute,
studied 71 high and low risk infants who underwent two functional Magnetic Resonance
imaging brain scans either at 1 - 2 months or at 9 - 10 months: one during a resting period of sleep and a second
while native language was presented to the infants.
At the start of the
study, all the participants did some Web searching
while the scientists monitored their
brain activity by functional magnetic resonance
imaging.
The team embarked on a massive
brain imaging study: Across 9 UK laboratories (University of Birmingham, University of Bristol, University of Edinburgh University of Glasgow, University of Kent, University College London, University of Oxford, University of Stirling, and University of York), 334 participants — 10 times the original amount — read sentences that were presented one word at a time,
while electrical
brain activity was recorded at the scalp.
Functional MR
imaging taken
while the animals received either a juice reward or VTA stimulation revealed that both induced activation of
brain regions that previous
studies in humans and other primates have associated with reward signaling by means of the neurotransmitter dopamine.
Using functional magnetic resonance
imaging (fMRI), an
imaging technique that measures
brain activity, researchers examined all three groups at the beginning (baseline), middle, and end of the
study while participants performed computer - based speed tasks in the scanner.
In a further step, Matthias Fastenrath
studied the
brain activity of 700 healthy participants via functional
imaging while they were were solving working memory tasks.
Case No. 18 states that a
study in which a healthy volunteer undergoes MRI
brain imaging while performing a working memory test is now a clinical trial because the effect being evaluated —
brain function — is a health - related outcome.
In the current
study, Brass and co-author Patrick Haggard, a professor of cognitive neuroscience and psychology at University College London, asked 15 subjects to push a button on a keyboard
while undergoing functional magnetic resonance
imaging (fMRI) to monitor
brain activity; participants were instructed to occasionally skip the action.
Some
brain imaging studies have shown activation of speech areas during mathematical tasks,
while others have not.
For the
study, researchers first used fMRI
imaging to record the
brain activity of
study participants
while they viewed pictures of cars, streets and other everyday objects
while they were awake.
