Recent years have seen an explosion of activity in the field of biomedical imaging in an attempt to understand the behavior of the brain in healthy and disease states. With the emergence of genetically manipulated laboratory mice and the knowledge of the mouse genome, we are entering an exciting new era with revolutionary tools for experimental research. Noninvasive imaging techniques capable of... Read more

Biography

Nick Van Bruggen, Timothy P.L. Roberts

"…a comprehensive and compelling presentation of the experience and insights of respected experts in the arena of the rapidly evolving neuroimaging techniques and touches on the latest multidisciplinary advances in neuroscience research. … The chapters contributed in this book are written by the absolute best in the field of experimental neuroimaging and cover both modern computational techniques and theoretical considerations but also detail cutting edge methodology, applications, and important "how to's" and imaging protocol details. … highly recommended for not only the student interested in the dynamic changes underway of experimental MRI and molecular imaging but also for the expert already in the field. … Simply put, there is no recent book that covers this highly dynamic field of biomedical imaging in experimental neuroscience with greater depth and insight. It distills the vast amounts of current literature into a highly readable reference that should serve as an ideal introduction to experimental MR, as well as provide the ideal potential textbook to the existing state-of-the-art in MRI and molecular imaging."
