title: Monomodal rigid-body registration and applications to the investigation of the effects of eicosapentaenoic acid intervention in neuropsychiatric disorders.
abstract: The technique of monomodal rigid-body registration of serial magnetic resonance scans based on the sinc ((sin z)/z) interpolation function and its application to neuropsychiatric disorders, such as schizophrenia, depression and Huntington's disease, in relation to the assessment of the cerebral effects of intervention with the n-3 highly unsaturated fatty acid eicosapentaenoic acid are described. The evidence thus far indicates that researchers investigating the benefits of treatment with essential fatty acids in neuropsychiatric disorders should consider utilizing this technique.
