STRUCTURAL EQUATION MODELING OF NEUROBIOLOGICAL PROCESSES

实验室继续它的一系列分析，使用线性 结构方程技术考察记忆之间的关系 作用和不同类型的穿透性导弹头部创伤。这 研究是基于实验室正在进行的使用类似 研究正常情况下内存体系结构的分析技术 个人。 今年LSES开始使用结构方程对PET测量进行建模 以确定服务于 各种功能状态(运动、认知等)在此期间，图像 得到了。从以下数据中获得了非常初步的模型 正常受试者的小样本。这些模型现在被估计为 抽动秽语综合征患者的数据来验证假设 两组人在大脑功能上的差异。

The Laboratory continued its series of analyses that use linear structural equation techniques to examine the relationship between memory function and different types of penetrating missile head wounds. This research is based on work the Laboratory is doing using similar analytical techniques to investigate the architecture of memory in normal individuals. This year the LSES began using structural equation modeling PET measures to determine the underlying structure of CNS networks that subserve the various functional states (motor, cognitive etc.) during which the images were obtained. Very preliminary models have been obtained from data from small samples of normal subjects. These models are now be estimated on data from subjects with Tourette's Syndrome to test hypothesized differences in brain functioning between the two groups.
