Brain Function Studies

Brain function studies explore how different parts of the brain support thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Using tools like brain imaging (e.g., MRI or PET scans), scientists observe brain activity in real-time, helping to identify which regions are involved in tasks like memory, decision-making, or emotions. These studies improve understanding of normal brain processes and aid in diagnosing and treating conditions such as depression, schizophrenia, or brain injuries. Overall, they provide crucial insights into how our brain's complex networks work together to drive human experience and function.
