While MRI became a standard workhorse in neurology/neurosurgery within a few years of installation of the first MRI unit, fMRI, in spite of being a powerful imaging tool, remains primarily a research tool, even though the first fMRI study was published 25 years ago. Scientifically, fMRI has made a major impact, judging by the number of PubMed citations and publications in high-impact journals. In cognitive neuroscience, fMRI is the most commonly used imaging technique in published peer-reviewed articles. fMRI is used clinically for preoperative brain mapping in neurosurgery to delineate the proximity of the lesion (tumor) to eloquent areas of the brain, with the aim of achieving adequate tumor resection with minimal functional damage to the brain. fMRI connectivity and activation maps have identified altered activation patterns and resting-state networks in psychiatric disorders like schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, autism, and Alzheimer’s disease, but fMRI is still not a standard diagnostic procedure in psychiatry. Diffusion imaging technique is being used for triaging stroke patients who are likely to respond to stroke therapy (embolectomy and/or clot lysis). Meanwhile, major collaborative fMRI studies are in progress in many institutions to collect normative data on connectivity, activation response, and behavioral response as well as correlation among them. Studies focused on specific neuropsychiatric disorders also have been initiated by the National Institutes of Health. All this is a reflection of the huge potential application of fMRI in clinical practice envisioned by the scientific community.

Emerging evidence indicates that stimulus novelty is affectively potent and reliably engages the amygdala and other portions of the affective workspace in the brain. Using fMRI, we examined whether novel stimuli remain affectively salient across the lifespan, and therefore, whether novelty processing—a potentially survival-relevant function—is preserved with aging. Nineteen young and 22 older healthy adults were scanned during observing novel and familiar affective pictures while estimating their own subjectively experienced aroused levels. We investigated age-related difference of magnitude of activation, hemodynamic time course, and functional connectivity of BOLD responses in the amygdala. Although there were no age-related differences in the peak response of the amygdala to novelty, older individuals showed a narrower, sharper (i.e., “peakier”) hemodynamic time course in response to novel stimuli, as well as decreased connectivity between the left amygdala and the affective areas including orbito-frontal regions. These findings have relevance for understanding age-related differences in memory and affect regulation.

Background. Patients with schizophrenia have an impaired ability to generate activity that is appropriate to current circumstances and goals.Method. We report a study using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) to examine cerebral activity during a three-tone auditory oddball target detection task in a sample of 28 patients with schizophrenia and 28 healthy controls.Results. The patients exhibited significantly less activation in response to target stimuli relative to baseline in an extensive set of sites in association neocortex, paralimbic cortex, limbic structures and subcortical nuclei, yet demonstrated a normal level of activation in the sensorimotor cortex. Comparison of activity elicited by rare target stimuli with that elicited by equally rare novel stimuli makes it possible to distinguish cerebral activity associated with attention to behaviourally salient stimuli from activity associated with attending to other attention-capturing stimuli. This comparison revealed that the patients with schizophrenia also exhibited a deficit in activation of basal forebrain areas that mediate motivation during the processing of behaviourally salient stimuli, including the amygdala, ventral striatum, orbital frontal cortex and rostral anterior cingulate cortex.Conclusion. Patients with schizophrenia have a deficit in function of the brain system concerned with mediating motivation, in addition to a more general deficit in the cerebral response to attention-captivating stimuli.
