In the last decade, an exciting development has been functional MRI [magnetic resonance imaging](fMRI). The most commonly used method is the blood oxygen-level dependent(BOLD) technique... This method detects changes of blood levels of oxygen saturation(because of the concentration of deoxyhemoglobin), and an area with more oxygenated blood is more intense on T2-weighted images. 1, record 1, English, - blood%20oxygen%20level%2Ddependent%20technique

L'IRM [image par résonance magnétique] fonctionnelle (IRMf) est une imagerie indirecte de l'activité cérébrale basée sur la détection des variations du flux et d'oxygénation du sang secondaire à l'activation cérébrale. Elle est basée sur la technique BOLD. 2, record 1, French, - technique%20BOLD

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. 3, record 2, French, - imagerie%20par%20r%C3%A9sonance%20magn%C3%A9tique%20fonctionnelle

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 1, record 2, French, - imagerie%20par%20r%C3%A9sonance%20magn%C3%A9tique%20fonctionnelle
