The importance of the posterior insula for nociceptive pain is further suggested by functional imaging studies of pain empathy, hypnotically induced pain, and recalled pain experiences.
In the nineteen-nineties, such lesion studies were complemented by functional imaging — visualizing the brains of people with fMRI as they looked at pictures of faces, places, and objects.
Evidence by functional imaging studies suggests the role of left dorsolateral prefrontal cortex (DLPFC) in the inhibitory control of nociceptive transmission system.
The most widely cited evidence for separate object and spatial WM systems is provided by functional imaging studies that found distinct involvement of different brain regions for object and spatial WM tasks, known as the "domain-specific" account.
The number of cycles of (R ICE chemotherapy was determined by functional imaging after induction.
Further developments in this field can facilitate tumour SGR estimation by functional imaging before treatment as well as integration of TR data based on anatomical changes in tumour with other means of tumour response assessment by functional imaging with MRI (Chenevert et al, 1997) or PET (Stroobants et al, 2003; Boss et al, 2008).
However, still little is known about the neural mechanisms and functional processes that operate within the extent of spatial activation patterns as indicated by functional imaging studies.
Tumor lesions detected by anatomic imaging can be characterized as pheochromocytoma by functional imaging agents that target the catecholamine synthesis, storage, and secretion pathways of chromaffin tumor cells.
Indirect evidence of age-dependent strategies in motor tasks is provided by functional imaging.
Radiosynthesis of 5-[I]iodo-2′-deoxyuridine ([I]IUdR) for functional imaging of cell proliferation by means of PET was investigated by Guenther et al. A rapid radioiodination in vivo, resulting in high accumulation of activity in the thyroid, was demonstrated.
