Associative Sequence Learning

Neuroimaging studies suggest that the human mirror system is sensitive to sensorimotor experience.

Burton Drayer

Until 1984 he served as Chief of Neuroradiology at Duke University Medical Center in Durham, North Carolina, then, until 1986, Director of Neuroimaging.

Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital

The international scientific community especially recognizes the MNI for its epilepsy research and treatment, brain imaging, cognitive neuroscience, neuroimmunology, complex neural systems, as well as for its treatment of neuromuscular disease.

Psychophysiological Interaction

Psycho-Physiological Interactions or PPI is a brain imaging method of estimating the effective connectivity, or functional coupling, between a brain region and the rest of the brain with relation to the performance of a particular psychological task.


American Neuropsychiatric Association

Current SIGs include Clinical Practice, Conversion Disorders, Dementia, Developmental Disorders and Pediatrics, Early Career, Epilepsy, Forensics, Global Health, Movement Disorders, Neuroimaging and Traumatic Brain Injury.

Ataxic cerebral palsy

It is now recommended by the American Academy of Neurology that all cases of cerebral palsy of unknown origin undergo neuroimaging.

Epilepsy surgery

The evaluation typically includes neurological examination, routine EEG, Long-term video-EEG monitoring,neuropsychological evaluation, and neuroimaging such as MRI, Single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT), positron emission tomography (PET).

Language acquisition

Kuniyoshi Sakai proposed, based on several neuroimaging studies, that there may be a "grammar center", where language is primarily processed in the left lateral premotor cortex (located near the pre central sulcus and the inferior frontal sulcus).
