Brain Stimulation and Imaging

Overview: This field emphasizes the use of neuroimaging techniques to study the structure and function of the human nervous system. It also encompasses both invasive and non-invasive stimulation methods to manipulate and assess brain activity.

Key Neuroimaging Techniques:

  1. Electroencephalography (EEG):

    • Function: Records electrical activity of the brain through electrodes placed on the scalp.
    • Applications: Useful for diagnosing epilepsy, sleep disorders, and assessing brain function in real-time.
  2. Positron Emission Tomography (PET):

    • Function: Uses radioactive tracers to visualize metabolic processes in the brain.
    • Applications: Helps in diagnosing conditions such as Alzheimer's disease and evaluating brain tumors.
  3. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI):

    • Function: Provides detailed images of brain structure using magnetic fields and radio waves.
    • Applications: Used to detect structural abnormalities, tumors, and injuries.

Stimulation Techniques:

  • Non-Invasive Stimulation: Methods like Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) can modulate neuronal activity without surgery.
  • Invasive Stimulation: Techniques such as deep brain stimulation (DBS) involve implanting electrodes in specific brain regions to treat conditions like Parkinson's disease.

Importance:

  • Research Applications: These techniques enable the exploration of brain networks and their functions.
  • Clinical Relevance: Essential for diagnosing neurological disorders and developing targeted therapies.

Brain imaging and stimulation techniques are crucial for advancing our understanding of the human nervous system and improving treatment modalities.
