Optogenetic techniques have been developed to allow control over the activity of selected
cells within a highly heterogeneous tissue, using a combination of genetic engineering and …

Resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) is based on spontaneous
fluctuations in the blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) signal, which occur simultaneously …

Layer-dependent fMRI allows measurements of information flow in cortical circuits, as
afferent and efferent connections terminate in different cortical layers. However, it is …

Understanding amazingly complex brain functions and pathologies requires a complete
cerebral vascular atlas in stereotaxic coordinates. Making a precise atlas for cerebral …

Fast fMRI enables the detection of neural dynamics over timescales of hundreds of
milliseconds, suggesting it may provide a new avenue for studying subsecond neural …

Recent methodological advances in fMRI contrast and readout strategies have allowed
researchers to approach the mesoscopic spatial regime of cortical layers. This has …

High-resolution fMRI in the sub-millimeter regime allows researchers to resolve brain activity
across cortical layers and columns non-invasively. While these high-resolution data make it …

Systematic spatial variation in micro-architecture is observed across the cortex. These micro-
architectural gradients are reflected in neural activity, which can be captured by …

The cortex is a massively recurrent network, characterized by feedforward and feedback
connections between brain areas as well as lateral connections within an area …
