The location of the 24 axial slices to be imaged in the fMRI procedures is identified from the high resolution anatomical imaging sequence. These 24 slices, 5 millimeters thick (120 mm), are sufficient to cover areas extending superiorly from below the inferior aspect of the cerebellum to the apex of the cerebrum in an adult brain. Subjects undergo the fMRI scan sequence during which they will be asked to perform tasks which can involve language, memory and attention. The protocol for the fMRI scans will be a T2 - weighted gradient -echo Echo Planar Imaging (EPI) method. The time sequence of alternating periods (30 sec) of task conditions is repeated 5.5 times for a total of 11 intervals with 10 acquisitions per interval, resulting in 240 images. 24 image slices are acquired for each time point. Synchronization of the fMRI scans with the video stimuli is fully automated so that when the visual presentation commences on the Macintosh computer, it triggers the Bruker MR scanner to begin acquisitions. The MacStim presentation and the fMRI scan timing are synchronized from the trigger point to the end of the experiment. The high resolution MDEFT sequence allows for the 24 fMRI scan planes to be extracted from this 3D anatomical data set by interpolation for use as an anatomical underlay for the activation maps.
