Imaging the brain during sniffing: a pilot fMRI study.
Whilst the act of sniffing can provide us with an indirect method to study the central mechanisms of respiratory control, functional neuroimaging now provides us with a tool to directly visualise the activity of the human brain during this voluntary action using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). We performed fMRI during sniffing in 11 healthy volunteers where all subjects executed s...
متن کاملA Pilot fMRI Study with an fMRI-Compatible Robotic Interface
We investigated the feasibility of studying brain responses to controlled arm movements supported by an fMRI-compatible robotic interface. The study can be used in neurorehabilitation to provide insight into the cortical reorganization mechanism after damage to the nervous system, allow a better understanding of therapy-induced recovery and assist the development of more efficient rehabilitatio...
متن کاملUsing functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to explore brain function: cortical representations of language critical areas
Pre-operative determination of the dominant hemisphere for speech and speech associated sensory and motor regions has been of great interest for the neurological surgeons. This dilemma has been of at most importance, but difficult to achieve, requiring either invasive (Wada test) or non-invasive methods (Brain Mapping). In the present study we have employed functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging...
متن کاملfMRI of developmental stuttering: a pilot study.
The purpose of this investigation was to explore the feasibility of fMRI in the study of developmental stuttering. Speech contrasts (loud versus silent reading) and language contrasts (reading of semantically meaningful text versus nonsense words) of six developmental stutterers and six nonstutterers were compared using a commercial 1 Tesla MR-Scanner (Siemens Expert). Results indicate that map...
