The first section of the book is an introduction to the physics principles of BOLD imaging as well as a review of fMRI scanning methodologies, data analysis, experimental design, and clinical challenges. The second section reviews some current and future clinical applications of fMRI, including the clinical fields of Language, Memory, fMRI WADA, and Brain Mapping. The third and final section is a pictorial neuroanatomical atlas of the basic motor, sensory, and cognitive activation sites within the brain. This section will give neuroscientists a familiarity with some of the more clinically relevant brain activation sites that are discussed in other chapters.
There has been a discovery of a tremendous body of knowledge in the relatively young field of fMRI.
Functional imaging has quickly grown to be a vital tool for clinical and cognitive neuroscience research. It is the hope of the editors that this book will give a thorough introduction to this exciting field and will serve as a concise reference to all cognitive neuroscientists for the emerging clinical applications of fMRI.
