You are about to explore a variety of techniques that enable neuroscientists to examine the neuroanatomy and functional processes of the brain. This site provides brain imaging of normal and atypical brains using MRI, fMRI, PET, diffusion tensor imaging and more. This assignment is intended to expose you to:

- brain imaging techniques.

-different types of data and information using a particular imaging process.

- typical and atypical changes associated with different neurological conditions.

Some of the categories that you can explore include:
