Methodological problems of fMRI analysis
What exactly does the BOLD signal tell us about neuralcomputation in a concrete brain area ?
How can one explain that some brain regions exhibit areduced BOLD signal usual when a cognitive task isperformed (or when some item is successfully storedin memory) ?

Does the BOLD signal recorded by fMRI indicateincreased excitation of neuronal activity ?
It is currently still not known, whether the fMRI could also indicateincreased inhibition of local neuronal circuits
