Presented in an interesting, historical and philosophical way, this book describes
the current state of play in brain imaging, showing the differences among the different
imaging modalities, and reviewing the knowledge about the chemical reactions in the
brain, and their relationship to thinking, feeling and acting. The book reviews all
the results of PET and PET/CT imaging of the brain with all radiopharmaceuticals that
bind to receptors in all recognized and classified mental diseases, as well as the
studies on the localization of those sites that are activated by sensory or motor
activity. The book illustrates the parts of the brain activated and deactivated during
sensory perception, motion and other mental functions and explains how the process
of neurotransmission takes place in chemical terms
