[Abstract] Brain functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) can help locate the functional areas in human brain, and study the functional connectivity between the brain regions. Based on the modes of the task state and resting state, present review summarized clinical advances of fMRI in the pathogenesis, diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of neuropsychiatric disorders from the local brain function to the functional connectivity beween brain regions to the brain functional network.Future researches need to combine multi-methods and to cooperate with multi-disciplines to explore specific neuroimaging markers in those disorders. Thus imaging technique may eventually be used to help with early detection, early intervention and prognosis judgement.
