Nugent will explore the physics of each of these techniques\, and give a broad overview of how these imaging techniques work in the stu dy of depression.  \n\n\nShe will first discuss nuclear medicine techniqu es\, including PET and SPECT\, based upon the decay of radioactive isotop es introduced into the body. Next\, she will examine magnetic resonance i maging (MRI) and the many techniques developed which harness this technol ogy. \n\n\nTechniques in electroencephalography (EEG) and magnetoencephal ography (MEG) will also be discussed\, both of which measure the electric and magnetic fields generated by brain activity. The promises and caveat s of each technique will be included\, as well as ways in which these tec hniques have been used in her own research and in her work as director of neuroimaging research at the National Institute of Mental Health.  X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:<html><head><title></title></head><body><p cl ass="MsoNormal"><span>Since the mid 1990s\, there has been an explosion i n the application of medical imaging techniques to the study of mood diso rders. </span></p>\n<p class="MsoNormal"><span>In this talk\, MSU alum (p hysics major\, math and astronomy minor) Dr. Allison C.
