Name fMRI

Description

Other Name Functional MRI

Note fMRI

Advantages Functional MRI technique is noninvasive and allows multiple tests for different odorants/concentrations in the same animal. Compared to 2DG and c-fos methods, fMRI provides a better temporal resolution.

Disadvantages The fMRI signal does not discriminate possible contributions from individual neurons or glomeruli.
