Abstract Brain function is an extremely active dynamic process. Studing a living organism is essential for explaination of the sophistication of the brain. Although there are progresses in studying living tissues of acute or cultured slice for prolonged period in vitro, clinicians prefer seeing the lesion directly on an imaging screen or material. Functional MRI (fMRI) is commonly used method to study brain pathology in dynamics.
