Ken Kwong and the Introduction of Noninvasive fMRI
In the early months of 1992 the neuroscience community was flush with excitement. Jack Belliveau, a graduate student with the MGH-NMR Center (now the MGH Martinos Center for Biomedical Imaging), had recently published in Science his…
Third Somatomotor Map Distinguished in Human Cerebellum
The center’s Randy Buckner and colleagues have provided direct support for a third somatomotor map in the vermis of the cerebellum by using intensive, repeated functional MRI scanning of individuals performing movements across multiple body…
Commentary: Sparse Brain Activity Patterns May Underlie Human Cognition
Jyrki Ahveninen and colleagues believe sparse brain activity, where only a few neurons in a population fire at a given time, might contribute to the fingerprint patterns of activity evident in multi-voxel pattern analysis results…
