Combined methods reveal task activation dynamics in human brain networks

Abstract

A clear understanding of how human brain networks reflect task performance has been lacking, in part due to methodological difficulties.A new study combines the temporal resolution of EEG, MRI source localization, and multivariate modeling to address this need.

Advances in differential diagnosis of cerebrovascular diseases in magnetic resonance imaging: a narrative review

“…Meanwhile, reducing the expenses, noises, and uncomfortable environment should be the targets of medical industry while standard practice in MRI examination should be followed, such as screening all patients individually for foreign bodies before performing an MRI scan. To remove the labeling of "a high-tech version of phrenology", it is important to combine MRIs with other functional methods, such as combinations of the time resolution of electroencephalogram, source localization in MRI, and multivariate modeling (141). Further detection of changes in regional ionic and neurochemical levels that change accompanying with alterations in local neural activity may provide a more complete and precise picture of brain activity, thereby compensating the insufficiency of neuroimaging techniques.…”
