The Nile on eBay   Handbook of Brain Connectivity by Viktor K. Jirsa, A.R. McIntosh

Our contemporary understanding of brain function is deeply rooted in the ideas of the nonlinear dynamics of distributed networks. The second part introduces the currently available non-invasive technologies for measuring structural and functional connectivity in the brain.

FORMATHardcover LANGUAGEEnglish CONDITIONBrand New Publisher Description

Our contemporary understanding of brain function is deeply rooted in the ideas of the nonlinear dynamics of distributed networks. Cognition and motor coordination seem to arise from the interactions of local neuronal networks, which themselves are connected in large scales across the entire brain. The spatial architectures between various scales inevitably influence the dynamics of the brain and thereby its function. But how can we integrate brain connectivity amongst these structural and functional domains? Our Handbook provides an account of the current knowledge on the measurement, analysis and theory of the anatomical and functional connectivity of the brain. All contributors are leading experts in various fields concerning structural and functional brain connectivity. In the first part of the Handbook, the chapters focus on an introduction and discussion of the principles underlying connected neural systems. The second part introduces the currently available non-invasive technologies for measuring structural and functional connectivity in the brain. Part three provides an overview of the analysis techniques currently available and highlights new developments. Part four introduces the application and translation of the concepts of brain connectivity to behavior, cognition and the clinical domain.
