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 …

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

Large-scale intrinsic brain systems have been identified for exteroceptive senses (such as
sight, hearing and touch). We introduce an analogous system for representing sensations …

Research in the macaque monkey suggests that cortical areas with similar microstructure
are more likely to be connected. Here, we examine this link in the human cerebral cortex …

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 …

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) using the blood oxygenation level-
dependent (BOLD) contrast indirectly probes neuronal activity changes via evoked cerebral …

The human motor cortex comprises a microcircuit of five interconnected layers with different
cell types. In this Review, we use a layer-specific and cell-specific approach to integrate …

The ability to measure functional brain responses non-invasively with ultra high field MRI (7
T and above) represents a unique opportunity in advancing our understanding of the human …

Quantitative cerebral blood volume (CBV) fMRI has the potential to overcome several
specific limitations of BOLD fMRI. It provides direct physiological interpretability and …

Deciphering the direction of information flow is critical to understand the brain. Data from
non-human primate histology shows that connections between lower to higher areas (eg …
