Allan Jones: A map of the brain

Blog Archive » Measuring Innate Functional Brain Connectivity Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), a method for safely measuring brain activity, has been around for about 15 years. Within the last 10 of those years a revolutionary, if mysterious, method has been developing using the technology. This method, resting state functional connectivity (rs-fcMRI), has recently gained popularity for its putative ability to measure how brain regions interact innately (outside of any particular task context). Being able to measuring innate functional brain connectivity would allow us to know if a set of regions active during a particular task is, in fact, well connected enough generally to be considered a network. We could then predict what brain regions are likely to be active together in the future. Rs-fcMRI uses correlations of very slow fluctuations in fMRI signals (< 0.1 Hz) when participants are at rest to determine how regions are connected. Why monkeys? What could be the origin of the correlated slow fluctuations underlying rs-fcMRI? Why?

Helena Beristain: DRyP la enciclopedia libre Britannica.com Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana - Digitized Medieval Manuscripts Maps (DMMmaps) Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana and the 0.32% The Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana is one of the world’s largest libraries in the world and is home to around 80’000 manuscripts. Of these, only 261 are digitized today (that is: 0.32%), although there is an ongoing effort to digitize more. We are going to give a look at the website where these manuscripts are kept and made available to everyone. The link we have inserted in our DMMmaps takes the visitor directly to the list of all the available manuscripts. In all honesty, it is quite bare. The Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana on the DMMmaps Concerning lack of information, there is also no description of the content the user is visualizing. Image quality One of Pal. lat. 1764’s particular layouts from the 1300’s. The quality of the images of the Biblioteca Apostolica Vaticana is good. If a remark is possible, the colors of the digitized folios seem to be a bit dull and slightly under-exposed. A Surprise: The Copyright Final Words About Giulio Menna
