Brain responses in infants by Hartley, C, Slater, R

“…Even in the most immature infants, noxious stimulation evokes activity across all levels of the nervous system, eliciting changes in heart rate, respiratory rate, reflex withdrawal, hormonal responses, facial expression, and brain activity. This chapter focuses on measures of noxious-evoked brain activity in infants, including methods of assessment, use in clinical trials, and the current limitations of these techniques.…”

Bridging the gap between system and cell: the role of ultra-high field MRI in human neuroscience by Turner, R, De Haan, D

“…Use of these accurate and precisely localized quantitative measures of brain activity may go far in providing more secure foundations for psychology, and hence for more appropriate treatment and management of psychiatric illness. …”

Imaging structure and function by Jbabdi, S

“…On the other hand, functional neuroimaging now provides a large spectrum of devices and methods for measuring brain activity either directly (electro-magnetic recordings) or indirectly via hemodynamic effects. …”

Evolution of human intelligence by Dunbar, R, Alexander, R

“…Language, brain size, the “social” components of the brain, complex cognition and affect, social-network structures, the neurological “default mode” system of functional brain activation—all follow naturally from Alexander's model for the evolution of the human psyche. …”
