Functional MRI Imaging in Huntington's disease
Investigators: Jane S. Paulsen, PhD and Steve Rao, MD
Description: Individuals who are known to have the gene expansion for Huntington's disease are continually being recruited for a 3-4 hour study being done in conjunction with the Cleveland Clinic. Participants will undergo Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) scanning which will produce pictures of the brain.
Individuals aged 18 and older are invited to participate. Travel and accommodations will be compensated.

FMRI technology is based on high-powered magnetic field gradients and powerful computation. FMRI images, like those displayed here, provide scientists with an accurate portrait of brain activity.
