Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

fMRI measures changes in blood oxygen level to determine levels of neural activity. As neurons become active, they require more oxygen, which is delivered to the area via increased blood flow. By measuring changes in blood oxygen level, fMRI can pinpoint the specific areas of the brain that are active during particular tasks or stimuli.
