This volume highlights the remarkable new developments in brain imaging, including those applying the techniques of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET), that facilitate the non-invasive study of the living human brain.

An up-to-date and comprehensive survey of brain imaging studies in health and disease Contributions from world leading authorities on magnetic resonance imaging and positron emission tomography Strong focus on recent conceptual and methodological advances in neuroimaging research Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
