Anesthesia has broad actions that include changing neuronal excitability, vascular reactivity,
and other baseline physiologies and eventually modifies the neurovascular coupling …

▪ Abstract In this review we discuss various recent topics that characterize functional
magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). These topics include a brief description of MRI image …

Present techniques for functional MRI rely on detecting changes in hemodynamics that
result as a consequence of brain activation. It would be useful if MRI techniques could be …

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has become an essential tool for studying
human brain function. Here we describe the application of this technique to anesthetized …

The nature of vascular contribution to blood oxygenation level dependent (BOLD) contrast
used in functional MRI (fMRI) is poorly understood. To investigate vascular contributions at …

The blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) response to somatosensory stimulation
was measured in α-chloralose-anesthetized rats. BOLD fMRI was obtained at 40-ms …

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a unique tool to study brain activity and
plasticity changes. Combination of blood–oxygen level-dependent (BOLD) fMRI and …

Spatial specificities of the calcium‐dependent synaptic activity, hemodynamic‐based blood
oxygenation level‐dependent (BOLD) and cerebral blood flow (CBF) fMRI were …

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in anesthetized rodents has been commonly
performed with α-chloralose, which can be used only for terminal experiments. To develop a …

The application of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in the study of human disease using
small animals has steadily evolved over the past two decades and strongly established the …
