Description

Online & print edition 30 May, 2014 - 665p.The brain is the most complex computational device we know,consisting of highly interacting and redundant networks ofareas, supporting specific brain functions.The rules by which these areas organize themselves to performspecific computations have only now started to be uncovered.Advances in non-invasive neuroimaging technologies haverevolutionized our understanding of the functional anatomy ofcortical circuits in health and disease states, which is thefocus of this book.The first section of this book focuses on methodological issues,such as combining functional MRI technology with other brainimaging modalities.The second section examines the application of brain neuroimagingto understand cognitive, visual, auditory, motor and decision-makingnetworks, as well as neurological diseases.The use of non-invasive neuroimaging technologies will continue tostimulate an exponential growth in understanding basic brainprocesses, largely as a result of sustained advances in neuroimagingmethods and applications.
