Sommario/riassunto

The pioneer in studies of changes in brain flow that underlie modern brain imaging was Angelo Mosso. This volume provides an English translation of his historic 1881 volume, together with a rich commentary by two leaders of modern brain imaging, Marcus Raichle and Gordon M. Shepherd. The text offers unique insights into the origins of brain imaging and also the rise of modern cognitive neuroscience.
