Ultra high-resolution fMRI and electrophysiology of the rat primary somatosensory cortex
High-resolution functional-magnetic-resonance-imaging (fMRI) has been used to study brain functions at increasingly finer scale, but whether fMRI can accurately reflect layer-specific neuronal activities is less well understood. The present study investigated layer-specific cerebral-blood-volume (CBV) fMRI and electrophysiological responses in the rat cortex. CBV fMRI at 40×40 μm in-plane resol...
متن کاملThalamocortical connections of the primary somatosensory cortex
Although each subdivision of primary somatosensory cortex (SI) receives dense input from the thalamus, but the exact location and type of information that the fibers convey have not been identified yet. In the present study, the exact source of thalamocortical fibers to areas 2 and 3b was investigated using tract-tracing techniques. Following injection of tracer into area 3b, labeled neurons ...
متن کاملUltra high resolution fMRI at ultra-high field
In this short review article I will summarize the path we took over the years towards increasing the spatial resolution of fMRI. To fully capitalize on the fMRI technique, a better understanding of the origin of the hemodynamic signals, and what factors are governing their spatial control is necessary. Here, I will briefly describe the studies and developments that ultimately led to our success...
متن کاملHigh Resolution Functional Mapping of Primary Motor Cortex and Primary Somatosensory Cortex in Humans at 7 T
Introduction: The primary motor cortex M1 and primary somatosensory cortex S1 have been intensively studied in human brain, using fMRI for nearly two decades [1]. At 3 Tesla and below, fMRI results already enable parcellation of the sensorimotor cortex in its main regions [2] and a rough somatotopic mapping of M1 [3] and S1 [4]. However, an unambiguous differentiation between M1 and S1 may alre...
متن کاملHigh-Resolution Optical Functional Mapping of the Human Somatosensory Cortex
Non-invasive optical imaging of brain function has been promoted in a number of fields in which functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is limited due to constraints induced by the scanning environment. Beyond physiological and psychological research, bedside monitoring and neurorehabilitation may be relevant clinical applications that are yet little explored. A major obstacle to advocate ...
