Preferred term

brain imaging  

Definition

  • One of the fundamental challenges in understanding the human central nervous system is characterizing how its various functions are localized and how they interact with one another. Imaging technologies enable neuroscientists to visualize the structure of the human brain and to measure biological activity through the skull, revealing the living brain at work.
