Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
A brain imaging technique that uses magnetic fields and radio waves to produce detailed pictures of brain structure.
Procedure
Participants lie on a table that slides into a cylindrical scanner. The machine generates images based on the varying hydrogen concentrations across different brain regions.
Strengths
Limitations
Maguire et al. (2000) investigated the brain structure of London taxi drivers and found increased grey matter in the hippocampus, which is associated with their advanced navigational skills. This study used MRI to identify structural differences in the brain.
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI)
A brain imaging technique that tracks changes in blood oxygenation to identify which brain regions are active during a task.
Procedure
Participants perform cognitive tasks (e.g., viewing images or solving problems) while lying in the scanner. The machine captures changes in brain activity related to the task.
Strengths
Limitations
Passamonti et al. (2012) explored the impact of serotonin on the amygdala and prefrontal cortex (PFC) during the perception of social threats. The researchers utilized fMRI to examine brain activity under different serotonin conditions.
Radke et al. (2015) examined the role of testosterone in amygdala activation when participants approached threatening faces. fMRI was employed to measure how testosterone influenced brain activity during this task.
