Directly mapping magnetic field effects of neuronal activity by magnetic resonance imaging.
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of brain functional activity relies principally on changes in cerebral hemodynamics, which are more spatially and temporally distributed than the underlying neuronal activity changes. We present a novel MRI technique for mapping brain functional activity by directly detecting magnetic fields induced by neuronal firing. Using a well-established visuomotor paradig...
متن کاملAssessing the sensitivity of diffusion MRI to detect neuronal activity directly.
Functional MRI (fMRI) is widely used to study brain function in the neurosciences. Unfortunately, conventional fMRI only indirectly assesses neuronal activity via hemodynamic coupling. Diffusion fMRI was proposed as a more direct and accurate fMRI method to detect neuronal activity, yet confirmative findings have proven difficult to obtain. Given that the underlying relation between tissue wate...
متن کاملCan high-field MREIT be used to directly detect neural activity? Theoretical considerations
We sought to determine the feasibility of directly studying neural tissue activity by analysis of differential phase shifts in MRI signals that occurred when trickle currents were applied to a bath containing active or resting neural tissue. We developed a finite element bidomain model of an aplysia abdominal ganglion in order to estimate the sensitivity of this contrast mechanism to changes in...
متن کاملToward direct mapping of neuronal activity: MRI detection of ultraweak, transient magnetic field changes.
A novel method based on selective detection of rapidly changing DeltaB(0) magnetic fields and suppression of slowly changing DeltaB(0) fields is presented. The ultimate goal of this work is to present a method that may allow detection of transient and subtle changes in B(0) in cortical tissue associated with electrical currents produced by neuronal activity. The method involves the detection of...
متن کاملEvaluating the Changes in Alpha-1 Band Due to Exposure to Magnetic Field
Introduction Increase in alpha band is observed when blood perfusion in frontal area of head decreases. The present study evaluated some changes in the alpha band particularly, alpha-1 of frontal and central areas of the head, when several areas were exposed simultaneously to magnetic field. Materials and Methods Five points of head (F3, F4, Cz, T3, and T4) of twenty healthy male participants w...
