High-resolution functional magnetic resonance imaging (hi-res fMRI) promises to bridge the gap between the macro- and the microview of brain function afforded by conventional neuroimaging and invasive cell recording, respectively. Hi-res fMRI (nominal voxel sizes les(2 mm) 3) is robustly achievable in human studies today using widely available clinical 3-Tesla scanners. However, the neuroscientific...

In functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), the cerebral blood volume (CBV) based approach with exogenous contrast agent has been found to have better spatial specificity than the widely applied blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) method. Recently, an endogenous CBV-based contrast, vascular space occupancy-dependent (VASO) technique, was developed for human research. However, the spatial...

In this work, we have adapted the directed transfer function (DTF) to fMRI for the analysis of cortical network dynamics. While modern fMRI sequences are capable of sampling at second or sub-second rates, the underlying hemodynamic response limits the true temporal resolution to the order of 6-12 seconds. Therefore, DTF analysis of fMRI is appropriate for characterizing dynamics in brain response...

Independent component analysis (ICA) and statistical parametric mapping (SPM) are two commonly used methods of analyzing fMRI measurements. Typically, these methods are applied separately to the measurements to produce brain maps indicating active brain regions in response to a stimulus or a performed task. However, ICA can also be used to develop a hemodynamic response model that can be used as a...

To characterize the brain mapping on reinforcement acupuncture stimulation at ST36 (zusanli), and to discuss the mechanisms of acupuncture to treat diseases. fMRI was performed on 26 healthy Chinese student volunteers. Sixteen subjects were acupunctured at the acupoint ST36, while 10 others at sham-acupoint (lateral from ST36 about 3 cm). The fMRI studies were performed using a gradient echo-EPI sequence...

Hemodynamics are thought to play an important role in the creation, thrombosis, recanalization, regrowth and re-bleeding of cerebral aneurysms treated by endovascular means. However, their exact role and interaction is unclear and warrants further study. Towards a systematic classification of the hemodynamics in intracranial aneurysms, we investigated the dependence of the values of the magnitude...
