Product Description
Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) has become a standard tool for mapping the working brain's activation patterns, both in health and in disease. It is an interdisciplinary field and crosses the borders of neuroscience, psychology, psychiatry, radiology, mathematics, physics and engineering. Developments in techniques, procedures and our understanding of this field are expanding rapidly. In this second edition of Introduction to Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Richard Buxton - a leading authority on fMRI - provides an invaluable guide to how fMRI works, from introducing the basic ideas and principles to the underlying physics and physiology. He covers the relationship between fMRI and other imaging techniques and includes a guide to the statistical analysis of fMRI data. This book will be useful both to the experienced radiographer, and the clinician or researcher with no previous knowledge of the technology. |

The best book around on the subject  5 Stars
January 18, 2003
I have tended to be frustrated with the books available on fMRI, which have all been in the format of edited chapters by an wide array of authors. While that format would seem to have the advantage that the leading experts on a particular area are presenting the material they know best, in effect it causes a disjointed text that is hard to follow. In contrast, this book was written entirely by a single author who has a style that is clear and easy to follow. I wouldn't say that Buxton's writing is conversational, but he does a good job of making the wide range of topics (both physical and physiological) accessible without using over-simplifications or backing off from the current controversies in the field. Another strength of the book is that he gives considerable treatment to alternative methods (such as perfusion, diffusion and tracer methods) which have been slighted in other texts to include yet another chapter on 3T vs 4T.

| The Prefrontal Cortex, Fourth Edition
by Joaquin Fuster (Editor)
This is the fourth edition of the undisputed classic on the prefrontal cortex, the principal "executive" structure of the brain. Because of its role in such cognitive functions as working memory, planning, and decision-making, the prefrontal cortex is critically involved in the organization of behavior, language, and reasoning. Prefrontal dysfunction lies at the foundation of several psychotic and neurodegenerative disorders, including schizophrenia and dementia. ...
