FMRI Scans Help Reveal ‘Fingerprints’ Of Mental Diseases
FMRI stands for functional magnetic resonance imaging. As the name reveals, it helps in taking images by detecting the deviations of blood flow. Since the activities of the neuronal activation and the cerebral blood flow are interconnected, FMRI effectively takes images of the brain to explain its functionalities more clearly. This is a much effective […]
