brain imaging
Cranial visualization technique
Brain imaging refers to techniques that produce visual representations of the brain's structure or activity.
Methods like MRI and CT scans reveal anatomy; functional imaging like fMRI and PET scans show which regions activate during tasks.
Brain imaging has revolutionized our understanding of how memory works.
The field bridges neuroscience and medicine, used for diagnosis, research, and mapping cognitive function.
