Document Summary
Lecture 7 structural mri methods: how we study brain anatomy and function, structural techniques, cat scan: Good enough to make an initial check (e. g. , football injury). Common for many parts of the body: dti: A special type of mri scan, good at looking at connective fibers in the brain: mrs, functional techniques, pet, fmri, tms, brain anatomy (don"t need to know for test, cortex, grey matter: Made up of the cell bodies of neurons: white matter: Axons of the neurons: gyri and sulci: Used to identify different parts of the brain: the neocortex, regions particular to sz studies, sensory cortex, motor cortex, auditor(cid:455) (cid:272)orte(cid:454) (cid:894)superior te(cid:373)poral g(cid:455)rus; wer(cid:374)i(cid:272)ke"s; co(cid:373)prehe(cid:374)sio(cid:374)(cid:895), visual cortex, cell types and organization, neurons: Increase speed of nerve impulse conduction: nuclei: Important as sites of neurotransmitter production: tracts: Bundles of axons connecting different regions: structural scans.
