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脑功能的主要方法。 它有望澄清精神障碍的系统水平病理生理学，并改变其诊断和治疗。 “看到”大脑的活动本身就是学生和专业人士的强大动力。 在纽约医院-康奈尔医学中心，我们建立了两个实验室，分别负责成人（功能神经影像实验室）和儿童（萨克勒研究所）的影像学。 我们建议建立一个全国性的认知神经精神成像临床研究人员培训中心。 所谓临床，我们的意思是包括通常被认为是精神病的中枢神经系统疾病，包括精神分裂症和抑郁症，以及通常被称为发育性疾病的疾病，如自闭症、注意力缺陷多动障碍和学习障碍。 通过神经成像，我们的意思是包括血流动力学方法，例如PET和fMRI以及大脑内部或外部的电记录。 我们计划培养精神病学、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能用于医学院、精神病学和心理学系以及美国儿科项目的材料。国内外
