Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

fMRI (functional magnetic resonance imaging) is the best technique for measuring fast metabolic events in the brain. It provides highly temporal resolution, allowing for measurements in the range of seconds. PET (positron emission tomography) and CT (computed tomography) have lower temporal resolution and are better suited for measuring longer-lasting metabolic events. MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) has good spatial resolution but lower temporal resolution compared to fMRI.
