Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a non-invasive neuroimaging technique that measures and maps brain activity by detecting changes in blood flow and blood oxygenation associated with neural activation. Because active brain regions consume more oxygen and draw increased blood flow, fMRI uses the blood-oxygen-level-dependent (BOLD) signal as an indirect marker of neuronal activity, allowing researchers and clinicians to identify which areas of the brain engage during specific tasks, sensory stimuli, or resting states. The method has become central to cognitive neuroscience, presurgical mapping, and the study of brain connectivity and disorders, offering high spatial resolution without ionizing radiation. As a journal focused on brain and body imaging, the International Journal of Neuroimaging publishes work involving the detection and characterization of brain activity and structure, including a study assessing the feasibility of identifying brain regions involved in extreme breath-hold diving, an application that depends on functional imaging of task-related brain responses. This page gathers peer-reviewed, open-access research relevant to functional MRI and the broader imaging methods used to investigate brain function and connectivity.
