Neuroimaging has become the central method for the analysis of human brain function. It holds promise of clarifying systems-level pathophysiology of mental disorders, and transforming their diagnosis and treatment. "Seeing" the brain in action is itself a powerful motivator for students and professionals. At the New York Hospital-Cornell Medical Center we have developed two laboratories concerned with imaging both adults (Functional Neuroimaging Laboratory) and children (Sackler Institute). We propose to develop a national training center for clinical investigators in Cognitive Neuropsychiatric imaging. By clinical, we mean to include disorders of the central nervous system of the type commonly considered psychiatric, including schizophrenia and depression, as well as those more commonly called developmental such as autism, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder and learning disabilities. By neuroimaging we mean to include hemodynamic methods such as PET and fMRI as well as electrical recording from inside or outside the brain. We plan both to train professional clinical researchers in psychiatry, psychology and related fields, and to develop and test materials here at Cornell Medical Center that may be used in medical school, psychiatry and psychology departments, and in pediatric programs in the U S. and abroad.

神经影像学已成为分析人类大脑功能的核心方法。 它有望阐明精神障碍的系统级病理生理学，并改变其诊断和治疗。 对于学生和专业人士来说，“看到”大脑的运作本身就是一个强大的动力。 在纽约医院-康奈尔医学中心，我们开发了两个涉及成人成像（功能神经成像实验室）和儿童成像（萨克勒研究所）的实验室。 我们建议为认知神经精神成像临床研究人员建立一个国家培训中心。 就临床而言，我们的意思是包括通常被认为是精神科类型的中枢神经系统疾病，包括精神分裂症和抑郁症，以及更常见的所谓发育性疾病，例如自闭症、注意力缺陷多动障碍和学习障碍。 我们所说的神经影像学包括 PET 和 fMRI 等血流动力学方法以及大脑内部或外部的电记录。 我们计划培训精神病学、心理学和相关领域的专业临床研究人员，并在康奈尔医学中心开发和测试可用于医学院、精神病学和心理学系以及美国和国外的儿科项目的材料。
