Regional sensitivity and coupling of BOLD and CBV changes during stimulation of rat brain.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Functional MRI of rat brain was performed at 2 Tesla following intravenous injection of cocaine in order to 1) determine if changes in CBV and changes in BOLD signal were regionally coupled in brain parenchyma, and 2) compare the sensitivities of these imaging methods across different brain structures. Percent changes in CBV and BOLD relaxation rate were spatially and temporally coupled during this graded brain activation. The use of contrast agent increased functional sensitivity in all parenchymal brain structures, with a strong but predictable dependence on the resting-state blood volume fraction.

Regional differences in neurovascular coupling in rat brain as determined by fMRI and electrophysiology
Increases in neuronal activity induce local increases in cerebral perfusion. However, our understanding of the processes underlying this neurovascular coupling remains incomplete and, particularly, how these vary across the brain. Recent work supports an important role for astrocytes in neurovascular coupling, in large part via activation of their metabotropic glutamate receptors (mGluR). Here,...
متن کاملCortical layer-dependent dynamic blood oxygenation, cerebral blood flow and cerebral blood volume responses during visual stimulation
The spatiotemporal characteristics of cerebral blood volume (CBV) and flow (CBF) responses are important for understanding neurovascular coupling mechanisms and blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) signals. For this, cortical layer-dependent BOLD, CBV and CBF responses were measured at the cat visual cortex using fMRI. Major findings are: (i) the time-dependent fMRI cortical profile is depe...
متن کاملBOLD and CBV-weighted functional magnetic resonance imaging of the rat somatosensory system.
A multislice spin echo EPI sequence was used to obtain functional MR images of the entire rat brain with blood oxygenation level dependent (BOLD) and cerebral blood volume (CBV) contrast at 11.7 T. Maps of activation incidence were created by warping each image to the Paxinos rat brain atlas and marking the extent of the activated area. Incidence maps for BOLD and CBV were similar, but activati...
متن کاملApplication of whole-brain CBV-weighted fMRI to a cognitive stimulation paradigm: robust activation detection in a stroop task experiment using 3D GRASE VASO.
Brain activation studies generally utilize blood oxygenation level dependent (BOLD) contrast, most commonly measured using the gradient-echo echo-planar imaging (EPI) technique. BOLD contrast arises from regional changes in cerebral blood flow (CBF), cerebral blood volume (CBV), and the local metabolic rate of oxygen consumption. An alternative to BOLD is the detection of activation through dir...
متن کاملSustained Negative BOLD, CBF, CBV, and CMRO2 fMRI responses to the noxious stimuli in the rat striatum at 11.7T
INTRODUCTION The striatum receives numerous afferent inputs from other brain structures and involves in various aspects of pain processing [1]. We recently reported that noxious forepaw electrical stimulation increases neuronal spike activity but, surprisingly, decreases CBV fMRI in the striatum [2]. The goal of the present study was to investigate this apparent discrepancy by using BOLD, CBF, ...
