Developmental neuroimaging studies of the brain have used a variety of techniques including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), positron emission tomography (PET), and single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT). Functional MRI has become the dominant technique used for the study of brain function because of its noninvasive nature, high spatial resolution, and sensitivity to the hemodynamic changes that reflect neural activity (Kolind et al, 2004). Structural MRI is also being used more frequently to investigate the structural development of the human brain. The principal means by which structural MRI can be used to detect differences between groups of individuals at different ages is by measurement of the degree of linear and nonlinear scaling of brain size with age. Structural MRI can be used to estimate the rate of change in brain size over time, and it has been used to demonstrate the emergence of distinct neocortical regions in humans during the second decade of life (Lebel and Rakic, 1992). An important limitation of structural MRI is that only the gross anatomy of the brain can be mapped. Thus, the functional significance of the structural changes that occur during brain development must be inferred from comparisons between the structural and functional maps obtained by separate modalities. The functional imaging studies that have been performed to date have included a wide variety of tasks that probe many regions of the brain. These tasks have included tasks of motor function, visual processing, language processing, memory, attention, and cognitive control. Many of these tasks have shown the development of functional activity patterns that correlate with the maturation of gray matter volume. With regard to language, these functional changes have been documented in multiple regions of the brain including the Wernicke’s and Broca’s areas, the auditory and visual association areas, and the prefrontal cortex. As these areas mature, the topography of functional activity patterns increasingly corresponds with the anatomical map of gray matter volume, and the level of functional activity in a given region of the brain may serve as a marker of the neural maturity of the brain. An alternative approach to the study of functional brain maturation is to study the changes in the pattern of functional coactivation that occur during learning and task performance. This approach has been used to investigate the development of task-related changes in functional patterns of brain activity during simple motor and perceptual tasks. In addition, more complex tasks that require cognitive control and attention have been used to study functional changes in the prefrontal cortex.

In the simplest act of perception, then, there is no distinction of stimulusand response. There is no distinction of consciousness of stimulus as stimulusor of response as response. But, in every act of perception, thereare two distinct meanings. The first is that of an organized end, an organizedmeans to an organized end, to which the end is the means. This means is theend itself, and its organized means, the organized end, is the organizedend itself. The second is that of two means, one to the other, the organizedend being itself the means, and the organized means being the organizedend. These two meanings are distinct, and they are distinct in the sense that theone is never conscious of the other, and that the one is not the same as the other. 827ec27edc
