Resting-state fMRI circumvents brain lesion dilemma
By Wayne Forrest
Monday, November 27 | 11:50 a.m.-12:00 p.m. | SSC11-09 | Room N229Can functional MRI (fMRI) still be effective when brain lesions create morphological distortion and patients are unable to perform tasks during scans? Researchers from NYU Langone Medical Center have found that resting-state fMRI can be used as an option to identify sensorimotor networks.
