Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a technique that

A) allows scientists to see what is happening in the brain while it is working.
B) requires injecting the brain with a substance but still cannot portray brain function.
C) measures the amount of glucose in various areas of the brain and then sends this information to a computer for analysis.
D) examines the effects of lesions in brain tissue.

Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging

A neuroimaging technique that measures brain activity by detecting changes associated with blood flow, used to observe brain structures and determine areas of activity during certain tasks.

Brain Function

Encompasses the activities and processes that the brain performs to support physical coordination, intellectual capabilities, and emotional and psychological well-being.

Glucose

A basic form of sugar that serves as a crucial source of energy for living beings and is found in numerous carbohydrate structures.
