Advances in Neuroimaging Research

Neuroimaging has had an enormous impact on the way human cognition is studied in vivo. With the advent of fMRI, scientists have been able to ask questions regarding individual differences which could not have been addressed with PET. These are particularly important for studying developmental disorders, such as dyslexia, because research suggests that participants with dyslexia (DPs) form a heterogeneous population. This book discusses neural correlation between reading deficits in individuals with developmental dyslexia. It also includes topics on electrical imaging in neuropsychiatry; prenatal magnetic resonance imaging of the brain and spine; and normal pressure hydrocephalus.
