Interpret the results of neuroimaging studies such as Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT), and Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scans.

Not exact matches

Beginning in the late 1990s, neuroimaging studies showed that a specific area of the parietal lobe — the IPS — is important for very basic numerical magnitude processing, such as deciding which of two numbers is larger.

Still, Sheehan said neuroscience already is one of the leaders in data sharing and management, with such resources as the NIH - funded National Database for Autism Research; an NIH - Defense Department sponsored data base on traumatic brain injury; the NIH - funded Neuroimaging Informatics Tools and Resources Clearinghouse (NITRC), which helps researchers to develop, share and collaborate on software tools for doing functional and structural imaging studies of the brain; and the Neuroscience Information Framework, an NIH initiative that makes neuroscience resources - data, materials, and tools - accessible via any computer connected to the Internet.

Schulze added, «It is my hope that these findings will give an impetus to future neuroimaging studies evaluating different treatment options in BPD, such as psycho - or pharmacotherapy.»

Neuroimaging studies showed that such triggers set off an electrical wave of firing neurons that spread over the occipital cortex at a rate of several millimeters per minute.

The conference will also include a panel of Penn researchers, discussing ongoing studies for future therapies, such as the use of advanced MRI neuroimaging as a potential diagnostic tool.

Furthermore, neuroimaging studies investigating the neural correlates that underlie emotional processing deficits characteristic for youth with ODD problems, such as poor fear conditioning and impaired processing of emotional faces (Glenn and Raine, 2008; Hyde et al., 2013; Blair et al., 2014; Baker et al., 2015), have suggested divergent results.

Given their typical age of onset, a broad range of mental disorders are increasingly being understood as the result of aberrations of developmental processes that normally occur in the adolescent brain.4 — 6 Executive functioning, and its neurobiological substrate, the prefrontal cortex, matures during adolescence.5 The relatively late maturation of executive functioning is adaptive in most cases, underpinning characteristic adolescent behaviours such as social interaction, risk taking and sensation seeking which promote successful adult development and independence.6 However, in some cases it appears that the delayed maturation of prefrontal regulatory regions leads to the development of mental illness, with neurobiological studies indicating a broad deficit in executive functioning which precedes and underpins a range of psychopathology.7 A recent meta - analysis of neuroimaging studies focusing on a range of psychotic and non-psychotic mental illnesses found that grey matter loss in the dorsal anterior cingulate, and left and right insula, was common across diagnoses.8 In a healthy sample, this study also demonstrated that lower grey matter in these regions was found to be associated with deficits in executive functioning performance.
