The marvels of engineering and physics have provided powerful approaches to elucidating the brain-based sources of emotion and behavior. Subspecialists in behavioral neurology and neuropsychiatry assess and treat patients with cognitive, emotional, and/or behavioral disturbances due to brain dysfunction. The advent of multiple methods to image the brain has contributed significantly to the knowledge base of this subspecialty. During the past century, neuroimaging technology advanced from providing a primitive skull X-ray to furnishing highly detailed pictures of brain structure and function.
