       Exploring Brain Imaging

       Nicholas Lange, Harvard University Schools of Medicine

***********************************************************
Together we will explore modern brain imaging technology  
and its applications in two biostatistical case studies. Results from  
the on-going longitudinal NIH MRI Study of Normal Brain Development  
in the United States introduce some basic ideas and uses of in vivo  
structural magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of brain tissue anatomy  
and diffusion tensor imaging of brain circuitry.  Results from a  
comparative study of changes in single gene expression due to anti- 
psychotic treatment administration, via an animal model, introduce  
some basic ideas and uses of brightfield microscopy. Additional  
examples of brain imaging modalities and their applications will be  
introduced as time allows. Initial familiarity with basic imaging  
concepts is not required.
