Ultra-high field parallel imaging of the superior parietal lobule during mental maze solving Experimental Brain Research (2008, June) Jerde T, Lewis S, Goerke Ute, Gourtzelidis P, Tzagarakis C, Lynch J, Moeller S, Van de Moortele PF, Adriany G, Trangle J, Ugurbil K, & Georgopoulos AP Mental maze solving: directional Functional Magnetic Resonance ImagingFunctional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI)A functional neuroimaging procedure using MRI technology that measures brain activity by detecting changes associated with blood flow. This technique relies on the fact that cerebral blood flow and neuronal activation are coupled. When an area of the brain is in use, blood flow to that region also increases.[citation needed] The primary form of fMRI uses the blood-oxygen-level dependent (BOLD) contrast, discovered by Seiji Ogawa. This is a type of specialized brain and body scan used to map neural activity in the brain or spinal cord of humans or other animals by imaging the change in blood flow (hemodynamic response) related to energy use by brain cells. Since the early 1990s, fMRI has come to dominate brain mapping research because it does not require people to undergo shots, surgery, or to ingest substances, or be exposed to ionising radiation, etc. tuning and population coding in the superior parietal lobule Experimental Brain Research (2005, September) Gourtzelidis P, Tzagarakis C, Lewis S, Crowe D, Auerbach EJ, Jerde T, Ugurbil K, & Georgopoulos AP Logarithmic transformation for high-field BOLD fMRIFunctional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI)A functional neuroimaging procedure using MRI technology that measures brain activity by detecting changes associated with blood flow.
