Brain Mapping

Brain mapping is a scientific procedure which is carried out through various methods including, but not limited to, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), Positron Emission Tomography (PET), and Magnetoencephalography (MEG). It is an innovative approach to investigate changes in the brain structure, connectivity, and function that may cause, or be the result of, neurological disorders such as Alzheimer's, Parkinson's disease, stroke, and epilepsy. This technique allows researchers to better understand the mechanisms that underlie various cognitive functions such as memory, decision-making, and attention. Studies using brain mapping techniques have demonstrated that the brain is highly adaptive, and that functional changes occur in response to experience or training, commonly referred to as neuroplasticity. Therefore, highly specific rehabilitation programs can be developed, based on the individualized deficits identified by brain mapping, for people who have suffered traumatic brain injuries or stroke. The information yielded from brain mapping has also been used to guide surgical resection of brain tumours and prevent damage to regions of the brain that are vital for motor, sensory or speech functions. Overall, brain mapping has revolutionized neurological research and therapy, enabling scientists to investigate the brain in a way that was not possible before its development. Using this technique, more effective and targeted therapies have been developed for various neurological conditions, offering hope to patients and their families.
