On consciousness, resting state fMRI, and neurodynamics
BACKGROUND During the last years, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) of the brain has been introduced as a new tool to measure consciousness, both in a clinical setting and in a basic neurocognitive research. Moreover, advanced mathematical methods and theories have arrived the field of fMRI (e.g. computational neuroimaging), and functional and structural brain connectivity can now be...
متن کاملResting State Networks and Consciousness
In order to better understand the functional contribution of resting state activity to conscious cognition, we aimed to review increases and decreases in functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) functional connectivity under physiological (sleep), pharmacological (anesthesia), and pathological altered states of consciousness, such as brain death, coma, vegetative state/unresponsive wakefuln...
متن کاملNeurodynamics of Consciousness
One of the main outstanding problems in the cognitive sciences is to understand how ongoing conscious experience is related to the workings of the brain and nervous system. Neurodynamics offers a powerful approach to this problem, because it provides a coherent framework for investigating change, variability, complex spatiotemporal patterns of activity, and multi-scale processes (among others)....
متن کاملSimultaneous resting state fMRI and FET-PET
For the planning of surgical intervention in human brain tumour cases, it is important to know if critical brain areas might be affected by the surgical process itself. PET imaging using radiolabelled amino acids is a valuable technique for the diagnosis of cerebral gliomas. O-(2-[ 18 F]Fluorethyl)-L-Tyrosin (FET) is a well established amino acid tracer that delivers information about tumour ex...
متن کاملResting-State fMRI and Developmental Systems Neuroscience
Over the past several years, resting-state fMRI (rsfMRI) has emerged as a novel informative method for investigating the development of large-scale functional networks in the human brain. This method, first used to demonstrate coherent spontaneous low-frequency fluctuations in BOLD signal within the adult somatomotor system (Biswal et al., 1995), involves collecting functional imaging data from...
