Modern neuroimaging tools allow unprecedented opportunities for understanding brain neuroanatomy and function in health and disease. Each available technique carries with it a particular balance of strengths and limitations, such that converging evidence based on multiple methods provides the most powerful approach for advancing our knowledge in the fields of clinical and cognitive neuroscience. In addition to offering fine-grained in-vivo neuroanatomical specification, neuroimaging methods also provide the opportunity to non-invasively explore brain function. The latter – widely employed in the study of cognition, and instrumental in the emergence of the field of cognitive neuroscience – is being increasingly used for clinical purposes (for example, to enhance pre-surgical lesion mapping,. | NEUROIMAGING -CLINICAL APPLICATIONS Edited by Peter Bright Neuroimaging - Clinical Applications Edited by Peter Bright Published by InTech Janeza Trdine 9 51000 Rijeka Croatia Copyright 2012 InTech All chapters are Open Access distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution license which allows users to download copy and build upon published articles even for commercial purposes as long as the author and publisher are properly credited which ensures maximum dissemination and a wider impact of our publications.
