Pavuluri, Mani N.; Sweeney, John A.
Journal of the American Academy of Child & Adolescent Psychiatry, v47 n11 p1273 Nov 2008
The use of cognitive neuroscience and functional brain neuroimaging to understand brain dysfunction in pediatric psychiatric disorders is discussed.

Implications for the diagnosis and treatment of psychiatric disorders are also examined.
