This book reviews the recent rapid development of functional
neuroimaging techniques and their implications for child
psychiatry. It is unique in that it focuses on children and
integrates brain mapping with genetics and behavioral testing, an
interface that is likely to become fundamental to functional
neuroimaging. This invaluable reference will help clinicians and
investigators to:
- Understand the mechanisms of childhood psychiatric disorders
through imaging
- Decide the most appropriate technique for their purposes with
respect to technology, experimental design, data analysis, and
ethical considerations
- Appreciate the role of molecular genetics and neuropsychology
in planning brain imaging studies. Set against an overview of
normal behavioral and cognitive development, the text includes a
description of new brain imaging strategies and the application of
imaging techniques used on adults to children. Linking the latest
findings from neuroimaging to neurophysiological models, this book
is an essential resource for researchers and clinicians concerned
with neurodevelopmental disorders.
