从20世纪90年代开始，在对活的人脑进行成像的能力方面已经取得了实质性的进展。已经开发了功能性MRI、PET和其他模态，以提供用于跨空间和时间维度评估脑功能和结构的丰富手段。这种方法现在是活体检查大脑的首选方法，每年有数千篇文章出现在文献中。人类大脑成像的下一个时代已经到来，因为技术发展达到了一个水平，可以快速处理数据并与其他生物信息相结合，以提供全新的应用和见解。这个新时代将涉及并需要来自世界各地的主要研究小组的合作参与，以分享信息和专业知识，了解观察到的影响，并将其综合成新的知识。一个在该领域日益突出的特殊社区是环太平洋地区，其集体研究工作是大脑结构和功能研究的重要语料库。环太平洋地区代表了一个重要的研究人员社区，他们对更大程度的思想共享感兴趣。在这期《脑成像与行为》的特刊中，我们关注利用脑成像方法的新兴研究领域，并讨论当前的发展如何推动功能成像研究的扩展。此外，我们专注于来自环太平洋地区的研究人员的强大互动，他们的合作正在显着塑造大脑成像的未来。
Beginning in the 1990’s, substantial advances have been made in the ability to image the living human brain. Functional MRI, PET, and other modalities have been developed to provide a rich means for assessing brain function and structure across spatial and temporal dimensions. Such methods are now the preferred means to examine the brainin vivo, with several thousand articles now appearing in the literature each year. The next era of human brain imaging is upon us now as technological developments reach a level where data can be processed quickly and combined with other biological information to provide fundamentally new applications and insights. This new era will involve and require the collaborative participation of leading research groups from around the world to share information and expertise for understanding observed effects and synthesizing these into new knowledge. One particular community that is gaining in its prominence in the field is that of the Pacific Rim, whose collective research efforts present an important corpus of research effort into brain structure and function. The Pacific Rim represents an important community of researchers interested in the greater sharing of ideas. In this special issue of Brain Imaging and Behavior, we focus on emerging areas of research that utilize brain imaging methodology, and discuss how current developments are driving the expansion of functional imaging research. Moreover, we focus on the robust interaction of researchers from around the Pacific Rim whose collaborations are significantly shaping the future of brain imaging.
