Functional MRI Flashcards
Emotion regulation has been associated between what two structures?
Emotion regulation has been associated with the amygdala and rostral anterior cingulate
How is Functional connectivity determined?
Functional connectivity was determined by correlating fluctuations in the blood oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) signal.
What is the hippocampus’s main function?
the two tiny seahorse-shaped structures in the brain essential for memory function.
Where is the Rostral?
Toward the front of the brain or the top of the spinal cord
Where is the Caudal?
Toward the back of the brain or the bottom of the spinal cord.
What parts of the brain does the Cingulum Bundle (CB) connect?
connections between the frontal lobe, parietal lobe and temporal lobe
What parts of the brain does the cingulum bundle (CB) connect?
the frontal lobe, parietal lobe and temporal lobe
Is the cingulum bundle (CB) white or gray matter?
White
Right Anterior Corona Radiata
The corona radiata consists of afferent and efferent fibers that connect the cerebral cortex and the brain stem. The cerebral cortex processes conscious information, while the brain stem is the connection between the spinal cord and the brain
What is DAI?
Diffuse Axonial Injury
What is DTI?
Diffusion Tensor Imagaing
What is the value of DTI?
Diffusion Tensor Imagaing is a powerful tool for detecting Diffuse Axonal Injury and other microstructural changes in white matter assocaited wiht mTBI injury
What are the three principle DTI values?
The three main Diffusion Tensor Imaging values are:
* Axial Diffusivity
* Radial Diffusivity
* Mean Diffusivity
What is the measurement parameter of DTI?
The indicator of white matter microstructural integrity is FACTIONAL ANISOTROPHY (FA).
