Abstract: Brain neuroimaging has a growing place in psychiatry.First only structural, it allows a better understanding in the pathophysiology of psychiatric illnesses by its functional applications.Even if early use of brain imaging in psychiatry was confined to scientific research, a lot of potential roles for diagnosis and treatment emerge.In this paper we present the different structural and functional neuroimaging tools.Then we evoke the place of these tools in psychiatric research and clinic.Finally, we describe briefly brain areas involved and clinical illustrations of brain neuroimaging in five frequent psychiatric illnesses (attentional deficit hyperactivity disorder, depression, obsessive-compulsive disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder and schizophrenia).
