Functional neuromarkers for neuropsychology
Journal Title: Acta Neuropsychologica - Year 2018, Vol 16, Issue 1
Abstract
This article is written to commemorate the 40th year of the scientific career of Professor Maria Pąchalska, Head of the Department of Neuropsychology and Neurorehabilitation at Krakow University, President of the Polish Neuropsychological Society, and the Editor-in-chief of Acta Neuropsychologica, with whom I have been collaborating for over ten years. The subject matter of our work includes the introduction of HBI methodology to clinics and the search for neuromarkers in particular disease entities.<br/><br/>What is the new methodology we are talking about? In general, we think of a biomarker (or biological marker) as a characteristic that can be objectively measured and evaluated as an index of normal or pathological biological processes. For disorders of the central nervous system, biomarkers can be classified as clinical, neuroimaging, biochemical or genetic, according to the type of information they provide. Expectations for the development of biomarkers are high, since they could lead to a significant improvement in diagnosing and possibly preventing neurological and psychiatric diseases.<br/><br/>Neuroimaging is an array of neuroscience methods that include the techniques of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), functional MRI (fMRI), and PET (positron emission tomography), as well as Electroencephalogram (EEG) and Magnetoencephalogram (MEG) techniques, such as quantitative EEG (QEEG), event related de/synchronization (ERD/ERS) and event-related potentials (ERPs).<br/><br/>
