Trondheim fMRI gruppe

Summary of activity

  1. Clinical use of all types of functional MR methods for monitoring of changes in the brain in response to decease, rehabilitation or other types of intervention.
  2. Basal neuroscience: High resolution fMRI of medual temporal lobe and its involvement in memory, navigation and olfaction.
