brain; Optimization of signal in positron emission tomography scans: present and future developments; The neurotransmitter basis of cognition: psychopharmacological activation studies; Relating structure to function in vivo with tomographic imaging; Positron emission tomography studies of the somatosensory system in man

Does inter-su bject variability in cortical functional organization increase with neural 'distance' from the periphery?A thought experiment with positron emission tomography; Selective attention modulates extrastriate visual regions in humans during visual feature discrimination and recognition; Positron emission tomography studies of frontal lobe function: relevance to psychiatric disease; Memory mechanisms in the processing of words and word-li ke symbols; Language activation studies with positron emission tomography; The functional anatomy of recovery from brain injury

Testing cerebral function: will it help the understanding or diagnosis of central nervous system disease?Final general discussion; Summing-up; Index of contributors; Subject index

Sommario/riassunto

Details the application of positron emission tomography (PET) to the mapping of human cerebral cortical function. Coverage includes all aspects of PET technology. Includes chapters on somatosensory, motor and visual systems, and higher-order processes such as attention, memory, learning, intention and language. The clinical usefulness of PET is discussed in relation to psychiatric illness and to functional recovery after brain injury.
