Brain scanning

Brain scanning refers to medical imaging techniques that allow scientists and doctors to visualize the structure and activity of the brain without invasive surgery. Common types include MRI scans, which create detailed pictures of brain tissue, and fMRI scans, which track blood flow to show which areas of the brain are active during specific tasks or thoughts. These powerful tools help researchers understand how the brain works, diagnose neurological disorders, and develop new treatments for conditions like Alzheimer's disease, depression, and epilepsy.
