Medicine and psychiatry have benefited from developments in investigational techniques. Neuroimaging is one such domain that has technically progressed enormously in recent years, resulting in, for example, higher temporal and spatial resolution. Neuroimaging techniques have been widely used in a range of psychiatric disorders, providing new insights into neural brain circuits and neuroreceptor functions in vivo. These imaging techniques allow researchers to study not only the configuration of brain structures but also aspects of normal and anomalous human behavior more accurately.
