During the past 150 years, the study of brain function has enlisted an increasing number of scientific disciplines in its service, beginning with anatomy and continuing with physiology, psychology, pharmacology, and molecular biology. Within the past 15 years, brain imaging has emerged as a tool that can integrate findings from these diverse disciplines through its intimate access to the working brain. Positron-emission tomography (PET) and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) are the imaging technologies applied most often by neuroscience researchers.
