Human Brain Function, Second Edition

This updated second edition provides the state of the art perspective of the theory, practice and application of modern non-invasive imaging methods employed in exploring the structural and functional architecture of the normal and diseased human brain. Like the successful first edition, it is written by members of the Functional Imaging Laboratory - the Wellcome Trust funded London lab that has contributed much to the development of brain imaging methods and their application in the last decade. This book should excite and intrigue anyone interested in the new facts about the brain gained from neuroimaging and also those who wish to participate in this area of brain science. * Represents an almost entirely new book from 1st edition, covering the rapid advances in methods and in understanding of how human brains are organized * Reviews major advances in cognition, perception, emotion and action * Introduces novel experimental designs and analytical techniques made possible with fMRI, including event-related designs and non-linear analysis Content: Authors , Pages xi-xiv Introduction , Pages xv-xvi , Richard S.J.

Human Brain Function provides a framework for students and investigators on which to build future studies of human brain function at every level of the systems.'' --Argye E. Hillis in ANNALS OF NEUROLOGY (August 2005, Vol. 58, No. 2) ¿ Human Brain Function reflects the contributions of a network of laboratories, many in Europe, centered on the Functional Imaging Laboratory of the University College London¿This gives the volume a great deal of coherence, ¿ for an authoritative, state-of-the-art summary of cognitive neuroscience, I do not know a better book. I highly recommend it to all students, scientists and lay persons interested in the field.¿ ¿B.J. Baars in SCIENCE AND CONSCIOUSNESS REVIEW (July 2004) This completely revised second edition provides the state of the art perspective of the theory, practice and application of modern non-invasive imaging methods employed in exploring the structural and functional architecture of the normal and diseased human brain. It is organized in two major sections. The first describes advances in the understanding of human brain function in the areas of sensation, cognition and action. The second section describes major changes in thinking about how to image the brain brought about by the introduction of functional MRI. The unique single-laboratory nature of this volulme reflects the multi-disciplinary, integrated approach to modern imaging neuroscience Just as there are a host of visual areas-defined loosely as areas with visual inputs (Felleman and van Essen, 1990)-so are there many motor areas - defined loosely as regions with projections to the premotor and motor areas.
