As reviewed above, fMRI has many potential advantages in studying patients with cognitive impairment. fMRI can be acquired on a standard clinical magnet during the same session as structural imaging.

Researchers identified a retinal disease to evaluate the success of gene and cell replacement therapy. In the retinas of human eyes, the cones are photoreceptor cells responsible for color vision, ...

The pathophysiological process of Alzheimer's disease (AD) begins years, even decades, prior to the time a clinical diagnosis can be established. This long asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic phase ...

Researchers discover that language and Theory of Mind originate in separate brain regions in children, challenging theories of overlapping cognitive development.

In brains of control mice (left) and PD mice (right), from bottom to top: neuronal activity in a representative animal; cerebral blood flow mapping; fMRI of visual stimulation; fMRI of olfactory ...

Researchers using fMRI scans have found that in young children, brain regions for language and for understanding others’ thoughts are distinct, mirroring adult brain organization. The study challenges ...

Researchers using fMRI have found that even in children as young as three, brain regions for language and empathy (theory of mind) are already distinct and non-overlapping. The study, published in ...
