Neuronal population activity and functional imaging.
Human functional brain imaging detects blood flow changes that are thought to reflect the activity of neuronal populations and, thus, the responses of neurons that carry behaviourally relevant information. Since this relationship is poorly understood, we explored the link between the activity of single neurons and their neuronal population. The functional imaging results were in good agreement ...
متن کاملFunctional imaging and neuronal information processing
Since the functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) signal is likely to re.ect a spatial average of the activity of neurons with partly dissimilar response properties, its interpretation in terms of neuronal information processing may be di/cult. We explored this problem by means of a simple computational model based on known tuning properties of individual neurons and on the assumption that...

متن کاملPhysiological basis and image processing in functional magnetic resonance imaging: Neuronal and motor activity in brain
Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is recently developing as imaging modality used for mapping hemodynamics of neuronal and motor event related tissue blood oxygen level dependence (BOLD) in terms of brain activation. Image processing is performed by segmentation and registration methods. Segmentation algorithms provide brain surface-based analysis, automated anatomical labeling of co...
متن کاملAn integrative model for neuronal activity-induced signal changes for gradient and spin echo functional imaging
Gradient and spin echo (GRE and SE, respectively) weighted magnetic resonance images report on neuronal activity via changes in deoxygenated hemoglobin content and cerebral blood volume induced by alterations in neuronal activity. Hence, vasculature plays a critical role in these functional signals. However, how the different blood vessels (e.g. arteries, arterioles, capillaries, venules and ve...
