Please join us at ASNR26 on Sunday, May 17, for our Study Group session, “fMRI: Current Concepts and the Cutting Edge.”

In this session, attendees will learn about the fundamentals of functional eloquent brain areas and be introduced to the latest advancements in neuroplasticity and cortical depth dependent fMRI.

Learning Objectives:

1. Participants will learn the location and function of eloquent areas in the brain.
2. Attendees will learn about using fMRI to study neuroplasticity.
3. Participants will become familiar with cortical depth-dependent fMRI (layer-fMRI).
