Head motion during overt language production in functional magnetic resonance imaging.

چکیده
Head motion parameters (translation, rotation) during an event-related functional magnetic resonance imaging experiment of overt picture naming were investigated for two fixation conditions. We compared normal fixation with cushions and belts with the additional use of a bite-bar. Neither mean nor maximum values differed between the two conditions for any of the parameters. By applying the head motion parameters to the cytoarchitectonically defined volume of the left Brodmann area 44, we demonstrated volume overlap of 95% (normal fixation) to 100% (bite-bar) that did not differ significantly between fixation conditions. The data encourage further use of overt language production in functional magnetic resonance imaging with careful head fixation but no bite-bar.

Pre-operative determination of the dominant hemisphere for speech and speech associated sensory and motor regions has been of great interest for the neurological surgeons. This dilemma has been of at most importance, but difficult to achieve, requiring either invasive (Wada test) or non-invasive methods (Brain Mapping). In the present study we have employed functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging...

Introduction As functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is too expensive and time consuming, its frequent implementation is difficult. The aim of this study is to evaluate repeatability of detecting visual cortex activity in fMRI. Materials and Methods In this study, 15 normal volunteers (10 female, 5 male; Mean age±SD: 24.7±3.8 years) attended. Functional magnetic resonance images were ob...
متن کاملComparing cortical activations for silent and overt speech using event-related fMRI.
At present, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) of cortical language functions favors "silent" task paradigms with no overt speaking, due to severe motion artifacts in MR images induced by vocalization. To the extent that the neural substrate of silent speaking might differ from that of overt speaking, this is a problem for understanding spoken language. The present study combined even...
