A review of functional magnetic resonance imaging for Brainnetome

Neurosci Bull. 2012 Aug;28(4):389-98. doi: 10.1007/s12264-012-1244-4.

Abstract

The functional brain network using blood-oxygen-level-dependent (BOLD) functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has revealed the potentials for probing brain architecture, as well as for identifying clinical biomarkers for brain diseases. In the general context of Brainnetome, this review focuses on the development of approaches for modeling and analyzing functional brain networks with BOLD fMRI. The prospects for these approaches are also discussed.
