Brain Activation

"Counter Brain Activation Per E. Roland Karolinska Institute, Stockholm, Sweden Brain Activation offers a comprehensive and insightful analysis of the functional relationship between brain organization and human behavior. This timely resource presents classic and emerging experimental approaches for mapping brain activation in vivo, using biochemical markers and modern neuroimaging techniques. Relying on information obtained from PET studies and other tracer imaging methods, this volume concentrates on the relationship between structure and function in the human brain at the cellular, neuronal population, and complex system levels. This timely reference provides a detailed description of techniques for functional dissection of the living human brain, including: cognitive stimulation and anatomical localization, measurement of physiological and biochemical alterations, and the principles of cortical field and population-activation. Brain Activation provides a structure-by-structure analysis of human brain activity, with detailed functional characterizations of the frontal lobe, parietal lobe, occipital lobe, temporal lobe, limbic system, and subcortical structures-including the basa
