Chapter 12 Study Questions

  1. How does the relative spatial resolution of MRI compare to that of other neuroscience techniques?
  2. How does the relative temporal resolution of MRI compare to that of other neuroscience techniques?
  3. What spatial resolution can be achieved with very high-resolution MRI? How does this compare to the resolution of fMRI?
  4. What is quantitative susceptibility mapping?
  5. How could high-resolution fMRI help answer questions about causality?
  6. What is partial k-space imaging?
  7. How has MRI hardware changed to facilitate high-spatial-resolution fMRI?
  8. What is compressed sensing?
  9. How could multi-band imaging increase the rate of slice acquisition?
  10. Why do researchers seek to develop new forms of non-BOLD contrast?
  11. What are some potential physiological variables that might become important forms of fMRI contrast?
  12. How have researchers used MRI to measure neuronal activity directly?
