Applications of MRI to Psychopharmacology

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapterpeer-review

Abstract

Pharmacological functional magnetic resonance (pharmacoMRI or phMRI) refers to the use of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) after administration of a psychotropic agent, but can be defined more broadly as the application of MRI methods to basic and clinical psychopharmacology questions. There has been significant growth in this field, with a steady increase in published papers, perhaps attesting to the significant potential of phMRI for advancing psychopharmacological knowledge in important ways. This chapter outlines some general issues in phMRI, including some of its advantages and limitations. The chapter also illustrates the potential value of phMRI by discussing both animal and clinical work.
