Abstract
Recently medical imaging technique has greatly progressed. During these years, this technique became available not only for detection of morphological information but also for evaluation of function of variable organs. In this symposium, we focused the main topics on functional imaging techniques, and planned that the results would be presented by visually impressive methods as much as possible. This symposium consisted of 5 topics:(1) two-dimentional analysis of neural activity by intracellular calcium fluorometry, (2) photometric analysis of functional structure in the brain, (3) magnetoencephalography, (4) chemical shift imaging and functional magnetic resonance imaging, and (5) neurotransmitter and receptor mapping by positron emission tomography.
