Effects of sub-threshold transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation on cerebral blood flow
Scientific Reports, 2021 Transcutaneous auricular vagus nerve stimulation (taVNS) has shown promise as a non-invasive alternative to vagus nerve stimulation (VNS) with implantable devices, which has been used to treat drug-resistant epilepsy and treatment-resistant depression ...

Functional MRI of the kidneys [PDF]
Journal of Magnetic Resonance Imaging, 2013 AbstractRenal function is characterized by different physiologic aspects, including perfusion, glomerular filtration, interstitial diffusion, and tissue oxygenation. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) shows great promise in assessing these renal tissue characteristics noninvasively.

Autonomic arousals contribute to brain fluid pulsations during sleep
NeuroImage, 2022 During sleep, slow waves of neuro-electrical activity engulf the human brain and aid in the consolidation of memories. Recent research suggests that these slow waves may also promote brain health by facilitating the removal of metabolic waste, possibly ...

Functional MRI at the crossroads [PDF]
International Journal of Psychophysiology, 2009 Since the observation of the blood oxygenation level dependent (BOLD) effect on measured MR signal in the brain, functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has rapidly become the tool of choice for exploring brain function in cognitive neuroscience.

Optogenetic Functional MRI [PDF]
Journal of Visualized Experiments, 2016 The investigation of the functional connectivity of precise neural circuits across the entire intact brain can be achieved through optogenetic functional magnetic resonance imaging (ofMRI), which is a novel technique that combines the relatively high spatial resolution of high-field fMRI with the precision of optogenetic stimulation.
