Inside the brain
These resources from the Wellcome Trust explore how imaging research has changed the way we look inside one of our most fascinating organs, the brain. There is useful background information on MRI, fMRI, CT and PET scanning. This issue of the Big Picture looks at the basic structure and function of the brain, the use of functional and structural imaging in research, and some social, ethical and legal issues to do with the brain.
