However, there are currently no studies that systematically examine brain microvasculature permeation of polyethylene glycol (PEG -functionalized AuNPEG -functionalized
Dr. DeSouza's research focuses on neuroimaging methods to examine brain structure and function and treatment-related plasticity in individuals with chronic pain.
The team will also examine brain activity as participants think about people they feel grateful toward, their favorite things, and familiar places.
Because each player died relatively young, from 36 to 50, they provided an opportunity to examine brain abnormalities that are exceedingly rare in someone of that age without a history of repetitive brain injury.
This pilot study is the first to examine brain activation via functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) during three distinct drawing tasks coloring, doodling, and free drawing.
A stepwise category-learning task was designed to examine brain activation associated with invariance detection and variance inhibition during category induction (CI).
While a majority of fMRI applications examine brain function in response to an externally driven task, an alternative approach characterizes the brain's intrinsic functional architecture.
Mixed designs can allow researchers a means to examine brain activity associated with sustained processes, potentially related to task-level control signals.
Here we review these methodological issues, and provide examples from our experiences using human arrays to examine brain tissue samples from squirrel monkeys.
We used fMRI to examine brain activation patterns while 16 healthy participants read brief three-sentence stories that concluded with either a literal, metaphoric, or ironic sentence.
This approach provides a novel way to examine brain function, says Xin Yu, a research group leader at the Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics in Tuebingen, Germany, who was not involved in the research.
