Interpreting Intervention Induced Neuroplasticity with fMRI: The Case for Multimodal Imaging Strategies by Lee B. Reid, Roslyn N. Boyd, Ross Cunnington, Stephen E. Rose

“…Furthermore, we discuss the impact of heterogeneous disease states and essential t-fMRI processing steps on the interpretability of activation patterns. To better understand therapy-induced neuroplastic changes, we suggest that researchers utilising t-fMRI consider concurrently acquiring information from an additional modality, to quantify, for example, haemodynamic differences or microstructural changes. …”
