Dynamic brain maps offer key biological markers for understanding development and a wide range of nervous system processes and disorders including development, aging, neurodegenerative diseases and mental illness. When fully implemented at a clinical level, such tools can serve an important diagnostic role by quantifying the range and confidence limits of normality from brain structure and function. When fully implemented at a clinical level, such tools can serve an important diagnostic role by quantifying the range and confidence limits of normality from brain structure and function. When applied to individual patients and patient populations, they can also quantify disease burden and provide objective, quantifiable tools for use in experimental therapies and therapeutic trials.
