Specifically, he has been using fMRI scans to explore the relationship between brain activation patterns and real-life behavior.
The primary use of task-evoked fMRI is to identify the correlation between brain activation pattern and brain functions, such as perception, language, memory, emotion and thought [100, 101].
The primary use of task-evoked fMRI is to identify the correlation between brain activation/interaction pattern and cognitive states, such as perception, language, memory, emotion, and thought [45, 46].
And third, there are distinct differences between the brain patterns of those with DID and the brain patterns of actors who are simply taking on different personas.
Indeed, the regulatory network similarities observed by Yankura et al. [ 2] between head/anterior brain patterning genes in the bilaterian hemichordates and vertebrates and their orthologs in the sea star ectoderm reveals a deeply conserved systemic patterning system that may antedate the bilaterian morphogenetic systems with which it is often associated (that is, the axial neuroectoderm).
Regions which contributed to the prediction of treatment response were distinct from those relevant for diagnosis as there was no overlap anywhere in the brain between their respective brain patterns.
The goal of the present pilot study was to investigate linkages between regional brain activation patterns and subclinical depressive symptoms while participants were engaged in emotion regulation, resting state, and reward processing paradigms that have previously been shown to differentiate MDD and nondepressed samples.
Harder tasks include determining how neural systems work together to create behaviour, and how wide is the variation in brain patterns between different people.
To assess between-group similarities and differences in the brain patterns of activations, the following sets of linear comparisons were performed: 1) vegetarians and vegans, separately, vs. omnivores; 2) vegetarians and vegans, combined, vs. omnivores; 3) vegetarians vs. vegans, and vice versa.
In 2002, Mayberg [ 32] reviewed studies published to date examining the correlation between changes in brain metabolism patterns and symptom reduction in major depressive disorder following treatment with standard antidepressants.
