Learning unit contents
The Neuroimagerie animale course is devoted to the discovery of the preclinical imaging research field, focusing to the in vivo structural and functional neuroimaging in small animals (rats and mice). The insights brought by these techniques are constituting the core of the course. Pharmacokinetic bases will be introduced to allow the understanding as well as the review of scientific articles. Three imaging modalities are mainly addressed: positron emission tomography (microPET), microtomodensitometry (microCT) and magnetic resonance imaging (microMRI). The technical aspects concerning these modalities will be briefly explained, and "advantages and limitations" are highlighted for each modality. Data processing is included along with hands on practical applications. Statistical analyses devoted to imaging will be addressed as well.
