The Oxford Handbook of Functional Brain Imaging in Neuropsychology
and Cognitive Neurosciences describes in a readily accessible
manner the several functional neuroimaging methods and critically
appraises their applications that today account for a large part of
the contemporary cognitive neuroscience and neuropsychology
literature. The complexity and the novelty of these methods often
cloud appreciation of the methods' contributions and future
promise. The Handbook begins with an overview of the basic concepts
of functional brain imaging common to all methods, and proceeds
with a description of each of them, namely magnetoencephalography
(MEG), functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), positron
emission tomography (PET), diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), and
transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS). Its second part covers the
various research applications of functional neuroimaging on issues
like the function of the default mode network; the possibility and
the utility of imaging of consciousness; the search for mnemonic
traces of concepts; human will and decision-making; motor
cognition; language; the mechanisms of affective states and pain;
the presurgical mapping of the brain; and others. As such, the
volume reviews the methods and their contributions to current
research and comments on the degree to which they have enhanced our
understanding of the relation between neurophysiological activity
and sensory, motor, and cognitive functions. Moreover, it carefully
considers realistic contributions of functional neuroimaging to
future endeavors in cognitive neuroscience, medicine, and
neuropsychology.
