Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) provides a unique view of the working
human mind. The blood-oxygen-level-dependent (BOLD) signal, detected in fMRI, reflects …

Efficient blood supply to the brain is of paramount importance to its normal functioning and
improper blood flow can result in potentially devastating neurological consequences …

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 …

Upon stimulation, real time maps of cortical hemodynamic responses can be obtained by
non-invasive functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) which measures changes in …

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

The six cortical layers have distinct anatomical and physiological properties, like different
energy use and different feedforward and feedback connectivity. It is not known if and how …

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

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 …

Caressing touch is an effective way to communicate emotions and to create social bonds. It
is also one of the key mediators of early parental bonding. The caresses are generally …

Brain imaging techniques that use vascular signals to map changes in neuronal activity,
such as blood oxygenation level-dependent functional magnetic resonance imaging, rely on …
