Description: Microstructural Parcellation of the Human Cerebral Cortex by Stefan Geyer, Robert Turner This book illustrates how state-of-the-art high-field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technologies can generate in living brains individual-specific maps of cortical microstructure that are based on differential grey matter myelination between areas. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Unraveling the functional properties of structural elements in the brain is one of the fundamental goals of neuroscientific research. In the cerebral cortex this is no mean feat, since cortical areas are defined microstructurally in post-mortem brains but functionally in living brains with electrophysiological or neuroimaging techniques – and cortical areas vary in their topographical properties across individual brains. Being able to map both microstructure and function in the same brains noninvasively in vivo would represent a huge leap forward. In recent years, high-field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technologies with spatial resolution below 0.5 mm have set the stage for this by detecting structural differences within the human cerebral cortex, beyond the Stria of Gennari. This provides the basis for an in vivo microanatomical brain map, with the enormous potential to make direct correlations between microstructure and function in living human brains.This book starts with Brodmanns post-mortem map published in the early 20th century, moves on to the almost forgotten microstructural maps of von Economo and Koskinas and the Vogt-Vogt school, sheds some light on more recent approaches that aim at mapping cortical areas noninvasively in living human brains, and culminates with the concept of "in vivo Brodmann mapping" using high-field MRI, which was introduced in the early 21st century.

Review "This is a myeloarchitectural map atlas and text of the primate and mammalian brains. … I recommend this book to neuroanatomists, physiologists, neuroscientists and any investigators with an interest in CNS function and anatomy. Students of the nervous system and research personnel will benefit also." (Joseph J. Grenier, Amazon.com, June, 2015) Review Quote "This is a myeloarchitectural map atlas and text of the primate and mammalian brains. ...

Grenier, Amazon.com, June, 2015) Feature Explains why cortical areas and their boundaries are "classically" defined by their cyto- and myelo architectonic pattern in post-mortem brains Illustrates how state-of-the-art high-field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technologies can generate in living brains individual-specific maps of cortical microstructure that are based on differential grey matter myelination between areas Shows that the ultimate research goal is direct structure-function correlation in the same subjects, which can now be achieved by matching MRI-based microstructural and functional maps in the same living brains Details ISBN3642430767 Short Title MICROSTRUCTURAL PARCELLATION O Language English ISBN-10 3642430767 ISBN-13 9783642430763 Media Book Format Paperback DEWEY 612 Year 2015 Publication Date 2015-08-05 Imprint Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co.
