Abstract
This discussion highlights ethical and practical issues potential neuropsychologist-imagers should consider in conducting functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). While fMRI is not currently approved for clinical use, research is ongoing which has implications for clinical practice, from refining brain-behavior relationships, to assisting with diagnosis and treatment decisions. To protect the welfare of cognitively impaired populations requires special care with respect to MR risks and informed consent. Competent functional imaging requires an understanding of the strengths, limitations, and appropriate domain of applications of the measure.

It is demonstrated in normal men that regional cerebral blood flow in the left angular gyrus shows strong within-task, across-subjects correlations and functionally disconnected from regions in extrastriate occipital and temporal lobe regions during single word reading, suggesting that the anatomical disconnection of the leftangular gyrus from other brain regions that are part of the "normal" brain reading network in many cases of acquired alexia is mirrored by its functional disconnection in developmental dyslexia.

The present experiment explores the feasibility of conducting fMRI studies in nondemented and demented older adults by measuring hemodynamic response properties in an event-related design and finds that, even if absolute measurement differences do exist between subject groups, relative activation change should be preserved.

A method using functional magnetic resonance imaging that evaluates the hippocampal regions in vivo is reported, and this method is used to study elderly with normal memory, with isolated memory decline, and with probable Alzheimer's disease (AD).
BrainThe effects of bilateral hippocampal damage on fMRI regional activations and interactions during memory retrieval

It is indicated that recruitment of bilateral regions during memory retrieval, and altered patterns of effective connectivity between brain regions may be important indicators of disordered memory.

By acquiring the average response from a brief stimulus, motion‐induced signal changes occur prior to neuronal activation‐ induced signal changes, and the two can thus be distinguished.

210 Citations2001Reisa A. Sperling, Douglas N. Greve +11 more
It is suggested that pharmacologic effects can be detected with fMRI by using a reproducible experimental paradigm and that medications that impair memory also diminish activation in specific brain regions thought to subserve complex memory processes.
