  Purpose

The spinal cord is a very important part of the central nervous system. fMRI can be applied to observe functional status of the human spinal cord. Under different conditions, the investigators will see different types of fMRI signals within the spinal cord. In resting state, the investigators might see active/inactive signals, too.


Condition Intervention
Cerebral Infarction
 Other: motor task, sensory stimulation

Study Type: Observational
Study Design: Time Perspective: Cross-Sectional
Official Title: A Spinal fMRI Study of Resting-State, Motor Task and Acupoint Stimulation
