Effective applications of fMRI to human problems should be valid and helpful. For valid use of fMRI, there should be evidence from multiple sources that there is a relationship between a brain system and a specific behavior. To be helpful, fMRI must show a clear benefit that would not otherwise be provided by other more cost-effective measures such as behavioral testing or interview. Fenton and colleagues (2009) focus on two applications of pediatric fMRI that are outside the bounds of standard clinical practice. The first application Fenton and colleagues describe, a tool to guide development of educational interventions in children, has potential benefits if applied in a careful and valid manner. The second application to children in forensic settings is likely doomed to failure. Briefly, valid application of fMRI in forensic settings is presently impossible since individuals are often noncompliant and thus the cognitive operations they perform are unknown. Furthermore, there are no real benefits to the child and instead there are risks of unfair sentencing or pressure to diagnose with disorders to exonerate a child. For this reason, we will focus on the effective use of fMRI in academic skills using clinical fMRI as examples of valid and helpful applications.The brain–behavior relationships and risk/benefits in application to educational interventions are much like those of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Specifically, there is a need for sensitive and early characterization of brain integrity and treatment to mitigate later negative outcomes. In AD, the valid brain–behavior association between memory decline and medial temporal lobe (MTL) degeneration underlying the disorder comes from multiple sources including lesions (eg, Rempel-Clower et al. 1996) and postmortem brain tissue (Braak and Braak 1997). Furthermore, imaging conveys a special advantage since the brain degeneration likely occurs before the behavioral manifestation and well before patients are grossly disabled; thus, neuroimaging may lead to early detection and delayed disease progression before patients are grossly disabled. Imaging changes in the functional integrity of the MTL have thus been proposed as a surrogate measure for another outcome that takes much longer to occur, such as institutionalization or death, so that clinical treatment trials will progress more rapidly (Mueller et al. 2005). Many factors other than AD cause subtle memory dysfunction so that it is standard to retest in
