Brainmapping.ORG

Dedicated to the communication of news, science, and information of interest to the brain mapping community, and to sharing and promoting the science of brain mapping.

The purpose and goal of brain mapping is to advance the understanding of the relationship between structure and function in the human brain. Scientists in this field seek to gain knowledge of the physical processes that underlie human sensation, attention awareness and cognition. These results are immediately applicable to surgical intervention, to the design of medical interventions and to the treatment of psychological and psychiatric disorders.

A high resolution multiphoton microscopy mosaic image of a cerebellar distribution of cell bodies (Hoescht 33342; blue) and alpha-synuclein (green) from a non-transgenic animal. These maps are being used to characterize Parkinson's Disease. These data will provide the bridge between whole brain imaging techniques such as MRI (Duke University, CIVM) and electron microscopic (UCSD-NCMIR) analysis.National Center for Microscopy and Imaging Research at UC San DiegoDiana Price, Ph.DMark H.
