	Neuroimaging - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Neuroimaging includes the use of various techniques to either directly or indirectly image the structure, function/pharmacology of the brain.
		Functional imaging is used to diagnose metabolic diseases and lesions on a finer scale (such as Alzheimer's disease) and also for neurological and cognitive science research and building brain-computer interfaces.
		Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) was born, and since the 1990s, fMRI has come to dominate the brain mapping field due to its low invasiveness, lack of radiation exposure, and relatively wide availability.

	Functional Neuroimaging of Sleep and Wake States: National Sleep Disorders Research Plan, 2003, NCSDR, NHLBI, NIH
		Although the physiological and adaptive functions of sleep remain to be clarified, it is clear that sleep and wakefulness are neurologically mediated.
		- Functional neuroimaging techniques (primarily PET) reveal that NREM sleep is associated with deactivation of centrencephalic regions (brainstem, thalamus, basal ganglia) and multimodal association cortices (e.g., prefrontal and superior temporal/inferior parietal regions).
		Such studies are needed to (1) determine the effects of sensory and cognitive demands on subsequent levels and patterns of regional brain activity during both sleep and wakefulness and as a function of state changes, and (2) to establish the functional neuroanatomy of sleep, wakefulness, alertness, and cognitive capability.

	Functional neuroimaging - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Functional neuroimaging is the use of neuroimaging technology to measure an aspect of brain function, often with a view to understanding the relationship between activity in certain brain areas and specific mental functions.
		Functional connectivity analyses allow the characterization of interregional neural interactions during particular cognitive or motor tasks or merely from spontaneous activity during rest.
		Functional neuroimaging draws on data from many areas other than cognitive neuroscience, including biological sciences (such as neuroanatomy and neurophysiology), physics and maths, to further develop and refine the technology.

		Dr. Rauch is one of the leading clinical neuroscience researchers in the study of normal and pathological fear and anxiety and is a pioneer in the use of functional brain imaging in the study of emotion.
		He is one of the pioneers of employing the cross-function approach to functional neuroimaging that allows the understanding of how a given brain region can be activated by a variety of cognitive functions.
		Identifying operations in cognitive mechanisms has been a major challenge because a smoothly functioning mechanism does not generally reveal its operations and most accounts of neural processes are at too low a level of organization to help identify the operations that figure at the relevant level in explaining cognitive functions.

		However, the interest in functional connectivity gave rise to the notion of effective connectivity (the influence that one neural system exerts over another); A notion that was championed by the pioneering work of Randy Mackintosh using structural equation modeling.
		In the early years functional neuroimaging was undertaken by small groups of experts who happen to be in the right place at the right time and have the right eclectic mix of expertise.
		In summary, functional neuroimaging has had an impact on almost every neuroscience field in a way which has been constructive because it draws people in, and enables them to address the questions posed in their disparate fields.

	Neuroimaging
		Functional MRI (fMRI) using endogenous blood oxygenation level dependent (BOLD) contrast is a well established technique for mapping human brain function, which is being used extensively in human neuroscience research and is rapidly entering clinical practice.
		The availability of such high-resolution spatio-temporal functional neuroimaging technology would provide an important advancement in brain research, and improve clinical diagnosis and management of neurological and psychiatric disorders.
		We have been investigating the multi-modality functional imaging strategies by fusing EEG and fMRI measurements, and developing new methods for analyzing the complex spatiotemporal dynamics based on measurements of scalp EEG, inverse reconstruction of current density and integrated analysis of EEG and fMRI.

		Functional imaging refers to methodology used to image tissue function rather than anatomical structure.
		In basic and clinical neuroscience, functional neuroimaging methods promise not only to provide new understanding of normal brain function, but also to improve the diagnosis and management of patients with diseases of the central nervous system.
		However, in many instances, a surrogate marker for the parameter of interest is measured, for example blood flow as a surrogate marker for task-specific functional brain activation.

	Terra Cognita: From functional neuroimaging to the map of the mind
		The literature of cognitive neuroscience begins and ends with the hypothesis that anatomically identified brain parts have dedicated functions, and that the brain is an assembly of modular specialists.
		A region may be recruited to join a subnetwork to compute one function, and later recruited to a different subnet to compute a different function.
		That is, where we judge two functions to be antecedently similar, we may expect the activation space to somehow reflect that similarity, and our new MDS'd map to reveal some of that structure.

	Neuroimaging Summary
		In the mid-1980s functional neuroimaging began to play an increasingly important role in enhancing our understanding of the organization of memory in the human brain.
		Neuroimaging includes the use of various techniques to either directly or indirectly image the structure, function, or pharmacology of the brain.
		The distinction is now made between MRI imaging and functional imaging since the brain's function rather than the brain's structure is of interest.
