Chapter 3D Polarized Light Imaging Portrayed: Visualization of Fiber Architec…
D polarized light imaging (3D-PLI) is a neuroimaging technique that has recently opened up new avenues to study the complex architecture of nerve fibers in postmortem brains at microscopic scales. In a specific voxel-based analysis, each voxel is assigned a single 3D fiber orientation vector. This leads to comprehensive 3D vector fields. In order to inspect and analyze such high-resolution fibe…

Chapter 33: Neuroscience, novelty, and the sociology of the brain
Knowledge about the brain is argued by many to have the potential to yield powerful insights for ourselves and societies. This chapter will examine how neuroscience is framed by, and can be impactful within, a range of social domains. Central to this is the construction of neuroscientific knowledge as novel and of quintessential import. Through the analysis, I will demonstrate how the brain is …

To begin this exploration, allow me to point out the discreetly deceptive premises of this chapter’s title: that we all, author and readers alike, share established understandings of …
