Structural imaging studies of autism have documented increased total brain volume and early acceleration in brain growth. Functional MR imaging (fMRI) studies in autism have also led to the view…
Traumatic stress has a broad range of effects on the brain. Brain areas implicated in the stress response include the amygdala, the hippocampus, and the prefrontal cortex. Studies in patients…
A review of recent advances in brain imaging using positron emission tomography (PET) is presented in this article. Some properties of the high-resolution research tomograph are described as examples of…
Cognitive functions are fundamental to being human. Although tremendous progress has been made in the science of cognition using neuroimaging, the clinical applications of neuroimaging are just beginning to be…
The field of statistics makes valuable contributions to functional neuroimaging research by establishing procedures for the design and conduct of neuroimaging experiments and providing tools for objectively quantifying and measuring…
Neuroimaging technologies provide a powerful approach to exploring the genetic basis of individual differences in complex behaviors and vulnerability to neuropsychiatric illness. Functional MRI studies have established important physiologic links…
Imaging of the mind involves an understanding of the brain and imaging technology. Much progress has been made over the past 400 years in defining the mind and developing tools…
Human prion diseases, in common with other neurodegenerative diseases, may be sporadic or inherited and are characterized by the accumulation of cellular proteins accompanied by neuronal death and synaptic loss….
Prions are a rare cause of human disease but very important to recognize because of their potential for transmissibility and uniformly severe outcome. MR imaging plays an extremely important role…
The symptoms associated with slow viral or prion diseases of the central nervous system tend to have multiple neurologic symptoms, and different patients may present with different symptoms. This review…
