  Neuroimaging in Neuro-Therapeutics   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Neuroimaging is critical for several therapeutic procedures leading to stroke prevention.
Functional neuroimaging allows for the identification of cortical regions critical for movement and speech.
The combination of genetics and functional neuroimaging is being used as a powerful tool to clarify many brain pathologies, as a means to finding more powerful therapies that could then be tailored to the individual (pharmaco-genomics).

 Neuroimaging
The department of neuroimaging at Kettering Medical Center consists of three trained neuroradiologists, as well as a trained MR radiologist.
The equipment is state-of-the-art and consists of a total of four CT scanners, two of which use helical speed imaging.
Furthermore, each of the neuroradiologists is linked with the hospital using a computerized data transfer system, which allows them to review neuroimaging examinations at home and during the night within minutes after their completion.

 Neuroimaging
NIPY is from Neuroimaging In Python, and we pronounce it to rhyme with "SciPy" - in other words, both syllables rhyme with "pie".
Federico Turkheimer and John Aston have written a grant to develop wavelet processing of neuroimaging data.
This will start as a Python port of the Phiwave to Python, and will be a collaboration with Matthew, Fernando and Francois.

 Affordance - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
If we can understand this language, then industrial designers can make tools that explain their own functions, and even tools that recommend themselves for some uses and discourage other uses.
Ecological cognition using neuroimaging studies suggests that when an actor either objectively or subjectively perceives an affordance they will develop a plan to act on that affordance and will act on that plan unless they experience cognitive dissonance.
Dissonance can lead to the actor using an object in a way other than the way it suggests through its affordances.

 MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia: Ramsay Hunt syndrome
However, it is mostly used for research nowadays.
The use of neuroimaging (pictures of the brain), particularly MRI (magnetic resonance imaging), may sometimes show inflammation of the facial nerves and determine whether the infection has spread to other nerves or the brain.
A spinal tap is used in rare cases, especially when the diagnosis is not clear.

Parents of children with ADHD are often exhausted and frustrated.
Neuroimaging studies suggest that the brains of children with ADHD are different from those of other children.
These children handle neurotransmitters (including dopamine, serotonin, and adrenalin) differently from their peers.

 The Hospital for Sick Children - Neuroimaging Research
The Functional Neuroimaging Centre (FNC) affiliated with the Brain and Behaviour Research Program at The Hospital for Sick Children Research Institute acts as a hub for functional neuroimaging work at SickKids.
SickKids is one of the few paediatric facilities in the world with an MEG and a dedicated research MRI.
The vision of the FNC is to be a leader and innovator in the field of paediatric functional neuroimaging.

 NIfTI: — Neuroimaging Informatics Technology Initiative
The primary goal of NIfTI is to provide coordinated and targeted service, training, and research to speed the development and enhance the utility of informatics tools related to neuroimaging.
NIfTI-1 is a new Analyze-style data format, proposed by the NIfTI DFWG as a short-term measure to facilitate inter-operation of functional MRI data analysis software packages.
The Data Format Working Group (DFWG) was established in response to specific recommendations made at two previous workshops held under the auspices of the Neuroimaging Informatics Technology Initiative (NIfTI).
