      abstract = {Follows the history of our exploration of the brain  through images, from medieval sketches and 19th-century  drawings by the founder of modern neuroscience to images  produced using state-of-the-art techniques, allowing us to  see the fantastic networks in the brain as never before.  These black-and-white and vibrantly colored images, many  resembling abstract art, are employed daily by scientists  around the world, but most have never before been seen by  the general public. Each chapter addresses a different set  of techniques for studying the brain as revealed through  the images, and each is introduced by a leading scientist  in that field of study. Author Carl Schoonover{u2019}s  captions provide detailed explanations of each image as  well as the major insights gained by scientists over the  course of the past 20 years. Accessible to a wide audience,  this book reveals the elegant methods applied to study the  mind, giving readers a peek at its innermost workings,  helping us to understand them, and offering clues about  what may lie ahead.},
