Book excerpt: Cette thèse aborde les pratiques cartographiques du cerveau autour d'une technique d'imagerie : l'imagerie par résonance magnétique (IRM). Une enquête ethnographique réalisée sur deux sites, une plateforme scientifique mutualisée (d'IRM fonctionnelle) et un organisme de recherche en neurosciences, nous a permis de suivre toutes les étapes du processus de la recherche (de la conception du protocole expérimental à la publication des résultats) et d'appréhender la façon dont les images sont engagées dans la production du savoir sur le cerveau. L'étude de la morphologie du cerveau, qui mobilise de plus en plus les bases de données et des logiciels conçus pour le traitement d'un grand nombre d'images, pose des nouvelles contraintes propres à une science de plus en plus data-driven. Souvent le travail scientifique témoigne de pratiques de traitement des données que nous avons expliquées avec la notion de bricolage. Ce phénomène répond à des impératifs de productivité mais reflète aussi une tension entre deux cadres normatifs : la méthode expérimentale et l'exploration de Big Data. Une partie de notre recherche est consacrée aux neurosciences sociales, branche d'appartenance de certains informateurs que nous avons suivis, et à la localisation des régions qui composeraient les régions du cerveau dit « social » (Dunbar, 1998). Pour nous, l'ancrage biologique de certaines dispositions mentales assuré par les données issues de la neuro-imagerie fonctionnelle, fournit une légitimation de l'ordre social existant. Les émotions « morales » notamment fonctionnent en tant que bio-marqueurs dans le clivage entre « normal » et « pathologique » mais elles participent aussi à la construction du cerveau « sexué ».

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The relationship between technicity and scientificity is often overlooked or avoided despite being a determining factor for establishing interdisciplinarity. By focusing on this relationship and highlighting a number of its ramifications, this book sheds light on the hidden or skewed stakes that condition a wide array of scientific projects. The authors present different approaches based on their own professional experience, focusing on the technique–science relationship in domains as diverse as brain mapping, the decipherment of Mycenaean writing and the design process. Each chapter presents varying and often opposing epistemological conclusions to provide the reader with a wide breadth of examples in different fields. Although the scope of this book is far from exhaustive, it serves as a starting point for the necessary and long-overdue clarification of the relationship between these neighboring, yet disjointed, sectors.

Book excerpt: The Advances in Neurochemistry series was initiated for a readership of neuroscientists with a background in biochemistry. True to this concept, the present volume brings together various applications of magnetic resonance technology to advance our knowledge of how the nervous system functions. Whether at the cellular, tissue slice, or intact organism level. magnetic resonance techniques are by their nature noninvasive, and thus provide a window through which biochemical reactions can be viewed without grinding, binding, or other wise perturbing ongoing physiological processes. As technological improve ments in methodology, such as higher and more uniform magnetic fields, novel paradigms for data analysis, etc. , are made, we find increased sensitivity and improved temporal and spatial resolution for functional imaging techniques on the one hand, and better separation of signals that identify chemical properties in spectral shift studies, on the other. It is upon knowledge such as is described in the twelve chapters that follow, that further advances in scientific discovery and the biomedical applications of tomorrow will be based. We are grateful to Dr. Bachelard, the Volume Editor, and to the authors of the individual chapters for their efforts. We also note that with this volume Dr. Morris Aprison, a co-founder of the Advances in Neurochemistry series has stepped down and acknowledge with thanks his major role in its inception.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is designed to acquaint serious students, scientists, and clinicians with magnetic source imaging (MSI)--a brain imaging technique of proven importance that promises even more important advances. The technique permits spatial resolution of neural events on a scale measured in millimeters and temporal resolution measured in milliseconds. Although widely mentioned in literature dealing with cognitive neuroscience and functional brain imaging, there is no single book describing both the foundations and actual methods of magnetoencephalopgraphy and its underlying science, neuromagnetism. This volume fills a long-standing need, as it is accessible to scientists and students having no special background in the field, and makes it possible for them to understand this literature and undertake their own research. A self-contained unit, this book covers MSI from beginning to end, including its relationship to allied technologies, such as electroencephalography and modern functional imaging modalities. In addition, the book: *introduces the field to the non-specialist, providing a framework for the rest of the book; *provides a thorough review of the physiological basis of MSI; *describes the mathematical bases of MSI--the forward and inverse problems; *outlines new signal processing methods that extract information from single-trial MEG; *depicts the early, as well as the most recent versions of MSI technology; *compares MSI with other imaging methodologies; *describes new paradigms and analysis techniques in applying MSI to study human perception and cognition, which are also applicable to EEG; and *reviews some of the most important results in MSI from the most prominent researchers and laboratories around the world.

Book excerpt: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a medical imaging technique used to visualize detailed internal structure of the body. This book discusses the recent developments in the field of MRI and its application to the diagnosis of human brain disorders. In addition, it reviews the newly emerging concepts and technology, based on the multi-coherence imaging (MQCI). It explains how computer packages can be used to generate images in diseased states and compare them to in vivo results. This will help improve the diagnosis of brain disorders based on the real-time events happening on atomic and molecular quantum levels. This is important since quantum-based MRI would enable clinicians to detect brain tumors at the very early stages. Uses practical examples to explain the techniques - making it easier to understand the concepts Uses diagrams to explain the physics behind the technique - avoiding the use of complicated mathematical formulae

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sophisticated methods of neuroscience—including molecular genetics, structural and functional neuroimaging, animal models, and experimental tasks that approximate real-world behaviors in human research—have yielded important insights about typical functioning and neurobehavioral disorders. Translational neuroscience endeavors to use this knowledge to improve the human condition by developing and improving interventions for these disorders. This paper reviews the literature on the contribution of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and two related techniques, resting-state fMRI (rs-fMRI) and real-time fMRI (rt-fMRI), to the diagnosis and treatment of behavioral problems and psychiatric disorders. It also explains how incorporating neuroscience principles and techniques into research on the prevention of substance misuse and antisocial behavior may spur advances and innovations in this important area. This article argues that fMRI’s potential contribution to these prevention efforts has yet to be fully realized, explores new ways in which the technique could be adapted to that end, highlights some of the work by researchers in the vanguard of this effort, and notes limitations of fMRI and ethical concerns the technique raises.

Book excerpt: In the last decade, NMR has set the basis for the understanding of the function and disfunction of the human brain. Particularly, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has a leading position among the methodologies used for investigation and diagnostic of the Central Nervous System. In the 1990's the objective of finding new investigating means drove scientists towards different approaches, including: 1) Blood Oxygen Level Dependent (BOLD) MRI; 2) Double Magnetic Resonance (DMR); 3) Hyperpolarized Gases. These 3 methods are aimed at detecting brain metabolites with increasing sensitivity and resolution. This Enrico Fermi Course is of interest to researchers who work at the development of these interdisciplinary areas, i.e. physicists, chemists, engineers, but also the biomedical aspects of brain function in connection to the NMR potentialities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is designed to introduce the reader to the field of NMR/MRI at very low magnetic fields, from milli-Tesla to micro-Tesla, the ultra-low field (ULF) regime. The book is focused on applications to imaging the human brain, and hardware methods primarily based upon pre-polarization methods and SQUID-based detection. The goal of the text is to provide insight and tools for the reader to better understand what applications are best served by ULF NMR/MRI approaches. A discussion of the hardware challenges, such as shielding, operation of SQUID sensors in a dynamic field environment, and pulsed magnetic field generation are presented. One goal of the text is to provide the reader a framework of understanding the approaches to estimation and mitigation of low signal-to-noise and long imaging time, which are the main challenges. Special attention is paid to the combination of MEG and ULF MRI, and the benefits and challenges presented by trying to accomplish both with the same hardware. The book discusses the origin of unique relaxation contrast at ULF, and special considerations for image artifacts and how to correct them (i.e. concomitant gradients, ghost artifacts). A general discussion of MRI, with special consideration to the challenges of imaging at ULF and unique opportunities in pulse sequences, is presented. The book also presents an overview of some of the primary applications of ULF NMR/MRI being pursued.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book examines multi-quantum magnetic resonance imaging methods and the diagnostics of brain disorders. It consists of two Parts. The part I is initially devoted towards the basic concepts of the conventional single quantum MRI techniques. It is supplemented by the basic knowledge required to understand multi-quantum MRI. Practical illustrations are included both on recent developments in conventional MRI and the MQ-MRI. This is to illustrate the connection between theoretical concepts and their scope in the clinical applications. The Part II initially sets out the basic details about quadrupole charge distribution present in certain nuclei and their importance about the functions they perform in our brain. Some simplified final mathematical expressions are included to illustrate facts about the basic concepts of the quantum level interactions between magnetic dipole and the electric quadrupole behavior of useful nuclei present in the brain. Selected practical illustrations, from research and clinical practices are included to illustrate the newly emerging ideas and techniques. The reader should note that the two parts of the book are written with no interdependence. One can read them quite independently.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Le scanner et l’IRM ont complètement révolutionné l’étude morphologique et fonctionnelle du système nerveux, modifiant également l’approche thérapeutique des pathologies cranio-encéphaliques et contribuant aux progrès de la neurochirurgie. Ces techniques, conjuguées aux dernières innovations (imagerie par tenseur de diffusion, tractographie, imagerie fonctionnelle, spectroscopie, angio-IRM dynamique, scanner multibarrette, etc.), mettent à la disposition du radiologue des outils performants, à condition de maîtriser à la fois techniques, données cliniques et pathologies à rechercher. Ce traité a ainsi pour objectif d’établir une synthèse des connaissances de la neuroradiologie diagnostique. Radiologues et cliniciens sont invités à évaluer les apports de l’imagerie neuroradiologique appliquée successivement aux accidents vasculaires cérébraux, aux lésions tumorales, aux dysfonctionnements de la région sellaire et aux autres pathologies cérébrales de nature infectieuse, dégénérative ou congénitale. D’autre part, l’ouvrage éclaire le praticien sur les erreurs diagnostiques, oriente ses interprétations et l’aide à déterminer la technique d’imagerie la plus performante en fonction de la pathologie étudiée. Le succès des deux premières éditions et les avancées permanentes dans ce domaine imposaient une nouvelle édition de ce traité. Fruit d’une collaboration étroite entre spécialistes de renom, riche de plus de 3 500 iconographies, dont plus de 500 nouveaux clichés présentant les dernières techniques (angio-IRM, pet-scan, imagerie de perfusion, imagerie fonctionnelle, spectroscopie, etc.) et de références entièrement à jour des derniers travaux, ce traité constitue la référence française en neuro-imagerie. Il est indispensable pour tous les radiologues et neuroradiologues. Parallèlement, les neurologues et neurochirurgiens y trouveront les clés nécessaires au dialogue pluridisciplinaire.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: MRI has emerged as a powerful way of studying in-vivo brain structure and function in both healthy and disease states. Whilst new researchers may be able to call upon advice and support for acquisition from operators, radiologists and technicians, it is more challenging to obtain an understanding of the principles of analysing neuroimaging data. This is crucial for choosing acquisition parameters, designing and performing appropriate experiments, and correctly interpreting the results. This primer gives a general and accessible introduction to the wide array of MRI-based neuroimaging methods that are used in research. Supplemented with online datasets and examples to enable the reader to obtain hands-on experience working with real data, it provides a practical and approachable introduction for those new to the neuroimaging field. The text also covers the fundamentals of what different MRI modalities measure, what artifacts commonly occur, the essentials of the analysis, and common 'pipelines' including brain extraction, registration and segmentation. As it does not require any background knowledge beyond high-school mathematics and physics, this primer is essential reading for anyone wanting to work in neuroimaging or grasp the results coming from this rapidly expanding field. The Oxford Neuroimaging Primers are short texts aimed at new researchers or advanced undergraduates from the biological, medical or physical sciences. They are intended to provide a broad understanding of the ways in which neuroimaging data can be analyzed and how that relates to acquisition and interpretation. Each primer has been written so that it is a stand-alone introduction to a particular area of neuroimaging, and the primers also work together to provide a comprehensive foundation for this increasingly influential field.
