| History of Functional Neuromaging at Penn | ||||||||||||
Penn
has contributed many key developments to the field of Neuroimaging
including the first human CBF measurements
by Kety and Schmidt in the 1940's, the first human PET scanning by
Reivich et al. in the 1970's, early work in in vivo
NMR and continued innovation in optical spectroscopy
by Chance and others, and the first clinical MRI in the Department
of Radiology. In addition to methodological development, Penn hosts a broad range of basic research using neuroimaging in cognitive neuroscience through the recently created Center for Cognitive Neuroscience, in clinical neuroscience through research groups in the Departments of Neurology, Psychiatry, Radiology, and Anesthesiology, and in several other basic and applied areas. |
