Human MRI scanners at ultra-high magnetic field strengths of 7 T and higher are
increasingly available to the neuroscience community. A key advantage brought by ultra …

After its discovery in 1990, blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) contrast in functional
magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has been widely used to map brain activation in …

Identification of the cellular players and molecular messengers that communicate neuronal
activity to the vasculature driving cerebral hemodynamics is important for (1) the basic …

Background It has recently been shown that electrical stimulation of sensory afferents within
the outer auditory canal may facilitate a transcutaneous form of central nervous system …

Functional MRI using blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) contrast indirectly probes
neuronal activity via evoked cerebral blood volume (CBV) and oxygenation changes. Thus …

Columnar arrangements of neurons with similar preference have been suggested as the
fundamental processing units of the cerebral cortex. Within these columnar arrangements …

Using a line-scanning method during functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), we
obtained high temporal (50-ms) and spatial (50-μm) resolution information along the cortical …

Cortical layer-dependent high (sub-millimeter) resolution functional magnetic resonance
imaging (fMRI) in human or animal brain can be used to address questions regarding the …

High-resolution functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) using blood oxygenation
dependent level-dependent (BOLD) signal is an increasingly popular tool to non-invasively …

Recent work has established that cerebral blood flow is regulated at a spatial scale that can
be resolved by high field fMRI to show cortical columns in humans. While cortical columns …
