Document Summary
The ability of neurons to: change function, organization of their networks, chemical profile, structure through experience. Alterations in balance of inhibition and excitation: first step is inducing a chemical change in neuron. Elg lycra/stretchy cap that has electrodes, the electrodes will receive the voltage generated from the cells in the brain. Tms coiled wire placed over top of head, current gets created; passes through magnetic field which induces current in cells: helps us control movements, motor evoke potential. Fmri functional magnetic resonance imaging: hydrogen protons will align with magnet, allows us to look at tissues, including brain tissues, 2 classes: structural and functional, behaviour of protons and electrons will be different based on different tissue. *adaptions acquired by the brain in order to behave based on situational circumstances* Modular organization of the brain that integrates functional networks. Different concentrations: functional use: deoxyhemoglobin-paramagnetic, relative decrease in deoxy will increase in mri, bold contrast.
