Marcus E. Raichle

Marcus E. Raichle is a renowned neuroscientist best known for his work in understanding brain activity. He helped develop techniques like functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), which allows scientists to see which parts of the brain are active during different tasks. His research has deepened our understanding of how the brain functions at rest and during activity, revealing the importance of certain networks like the default mode network. Raichle's contributions have significantly advanced cognitive neuroscience and our knowledge of brain health, addiction, and mental disorders.
