MagnetoEncephaloGraphy (MEG) just as fMRI and
PET, is a technique for mapping brain activity. In
MEG the magnetic fields are recorded that are
produced by electrical currents occurring naturally
in the brain. In fact MEG is such a precise way
electroencephalography (EEG) that active areas of
the brain can be located. MEG has a higher temporal
resolution than fMRI. A very short activity of a
particular area of the brain can be detected by MEG
that can not be detected by fMRI. MEG machines are
very sensitive and magnetic fields other than those
caused by brain activity can confound measurement.
Band around the central fissure of the cortex that is
involved in planning, control, and execution of
movements in particularly of movements involving
any kind of delayed response.
Magnetic Resonance Imaging. A MRI machine uses
a powerful magnetic field to align the magnetization
of atoms in the body. Some atoms recover sooner
from a temporary change caused by a magnetic field
than others. This difference is used to make among
others brain structure visible. MRI scanning is non
intrusive.
Myelin is a fatty substance that coats the axons of
some neurons. Myelination is the coating process.
Neurons with myelinated axons communicate faster
and more accurately.
The secretion of hormones in the brain, particularly
in the pituitary gland, which is located at bottom of
the hypothalamus.
A collection of neurons within the striatum that play
an important role in reward, pleasure, laughter,
addiction, aggression, fear, and the placebo effect.
