Subject field(s)
  • Magnetic Resonance Imaging
DEF

A non-invasive neuroimaging technique that allows researchers to measure the hemodynamic changes in the brain associated with neural activity.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Imagerie par résonance magnétique
DEF

Application de l'IRM [imagerie par résonance magnétique] permettant d'établir, de façon non agressive, une cartographie fonctionnelle du cerveau, en localisant les modifications hémodynamiques liées à l'activité neuronale que provoque l'activation d'une région encéphalique.

OBS

Le terme «IRM fonctionnelle» peut aussi comprendre d'autres techniques d'IRM qui sont sensibles aux changements physiologiques (comme les changements dans le mouvement de l'eau), mais avec un «f» minuscule, l'IRMf se réfère habituellement à la cartographie de l'activité du cerveau à l'aide de l'IRM
