Zusammenfassung
Introduction: The aim of the present study was to investigate cortical activation and sex differences during mental rotation using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and functional transcranial Doppler sonography (fTCD). Methods: Twenty healthy subjects (50% female) were investigated using fMRI (block design, TR 4000ms, TE 50ms, FoV 256×256, 36 slices, slice thickness 3mm) and fTCD (M1 segment of both MCAs, 2MHz ultrasonic probes). During the activation period, subjects were asked to perform a mental rotation task consisting of pairs of identical threedimensional cubes shown from different perspectives…
