Description
Brain mapping has forever altered and extended our understanding of the systems of the brain. The integrative capacity of brain maps enables
the inclusion of a diverse array of observations and experimental results. Maps are used to describe brain structure, function, and connectivity,
to catalog the ever-expanding knowledge base of human and animal nervous systems, to compare healthy tissue with diseased tissue, and
to show detailed subsystems and circuits.
Brain Mapping: The Systems is a compilation of the current research and developments
in brain mapping. This book, the second in a series, provides an encyclopedic survey of brain maps characterizing the specific systems
of the brain. It is a natural companion to
Brain Mapping: The Methods because it describes the use of these techniques
to create maps of the normal brain. It is an essential resource for all scientists, clinicians, and students interested in brain mapping.
Audience:
Students and professionals in neuroscience, neurology, neuropsychology, biophysics, neuroengineering, radiology, and computer science.
