Differences in the BOLD fMRI response to direct and indirect cortical stimulation in the rat.

Functional MRI (fMRI) exploits a relationship between neuronal activity, metabolism, and cerebral blood flow to functionally map the brain. We have developed a model of direct cortical stimulation in the rat that can be combined with fMRI and used to compare the hemodynamic responses to direct and i...
