Reseña o resumen
This practical and timely volume presents an overview of the principles of fMRI and explains experimental research design, outlines the challenges and limitations of fMRI, provides a detailed neuroanatomic atlas, and describes the clinical applications of fMRI in cognitive, sensory, motor, and pharmacological cases.
Contributors to this comprehensive text include internationally recognized neurologists, radiologists, and psychologists.
Abundant illustrations, most in color, complete the book.
