This volume explores the revolutionary f MRI field from basic principles to state-of-the-art research. It covers a broad spectrum of topics, including the history of f MRI’s development using endogenous MR blood contrast, neurovascular coupling, pulse sequences for f MRI, quantitative f MRI; f MRI of the visual system, auditory cortex, and sensorimotor system; genetic imaging using f MRI, multimodal neuroimaging, brain bioenergetics and function and molecular-level f MRI. Comprehensive and intuitively structured, this book engages the reader with a first-person account of the development and history of the f MRI field by the authors. The subsequent sections examine the physiological basis of f MRI, the basic principles of f MRI and its applications and the latest advances of the technology, ending with a discussion of f MRI’s future. f MRI: From Nuclear Spins to Brain Function, co-edited by leading and renowned f MRI researchers Kamil Ugurbil, Kamil Uludag and Lawrence Berliner, is an ideal resource for clinicians and researchers in the fields of neuroscience, psychology and MRI physics.
