Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -A form of MRI known as functional MRI (fMRI) has emerged as the most prominent neuroimaging technology over the last two decades. fMRI tracks changes in blood flow and oxygen levels to indicate neural activity.
Detailed explanation-2: -An fMRI scan is a special type of MRI that shows how different parts of your brain are working. They help doctors measure blood flow in the brain without having to do surgery. fMRI imaging is a safe, non-invasive way to diagnose conditions and to find out if certain treatments are working.
Detailed explanation-3: -While MRI only takes pictures of the brain structure, fMRI shows the activity (or function) of the brain, by comparing the blood flow under different conditions.
