This increase in blood flow and oxygen consumption can be picked up with various modern imaging techniques such as positron emission tomography...and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). It is assumed that local increase in blood flow means that the brain area involved is doing the processing.... | |

...the traditional cortical sites of language, Broca's and Wernicke's areas, is unclear. However, new techniques such as positron emission tomography (PET) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (FMRI) may help us solve the mystery. These techniques allow us to determine what parts of the human brain... | |
