Neuroimaging: Structural, Functional, Pharmacological, Bioelementology and Nutritionology

Abstract

The central goal of cognitive neuroscience is to decode the activity of the human brain, that is, to extract mental processes from the observed patterns of activation of the entire brain. Neuroimaging or brain imaging is the use of various methods to directly or indirectly depict the structure, function, pharmacology, bioelementology, and nutritionology of the nervous system. The functional brain imaging category is used to diagnose metabolic disorders at the earliest stages of disease development. Further structural-functional and cognitive development of the brain will require quantitative and qualitative provision of new tools of bioelementology and brain nutritionology. In the studies by N. P. Romanchuk, it is shown that for new neurogenesis and neuroplasticity, to manage human neuroplasticity and biological age, for modern neurophysiology and neurorehabilitation of cognitive disorders and cognitive disorders, sufficient functional and energy nutrition of the brain is needed using modern neurotechnologies of nuclear medicine. Combined EEG/PET and PET/fMRI methods and hybrid PET/CT/MRI technologies are a combination of functional and structural neuroimaging. The main advantage of PET — molecular imaging in the diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease, is to help clinicians (neurologists, psychiatrists, or geriatricians) determine an etiological diagnosis in the early stages of neurodegenerative diseases, especially when clinical diagnosis using standard tools is uncertain. Therefore, the search for early diagnostic markers, especially relatively inexpensive and non-traumatic ones, as well as the search for new therapeutic targets for preventive dementia therapy, is an extremely urgent scientific task. Systemic neurocognitive and neuroeconomic decision-making is becoming one of the greatest quality life problems of Homo sapiens in the 21st century. Research continues on human decision neuroprocesses at neurocognitive, neurosocial and neuroeconomic levels. Qualified mind creates and improves the cognitive potential of the brain. Neuroimaging for neuroeconomics and decision-making — the Secret of cognitive brain neuroscience H. sapiens of the 21st century — using neurobiological, neurophysiological and neurosocial technologies (methods, tools) to influence economic decision-making.
