Functional ultrasound imaging in free-moving marmosets reveals that intra-call prosodic features modulate large-scale cortical dynamics

This study uses functional ultrasound imaging in marmosets to show that intra-call prosodic features influence large-scale cortical dynamics during vocal interactions.

Macroscopic cerebral energy efficiency corresponds to neuron reorganization in awake and anesthetized mice

This study links changes in cerebral energy efficiency metrics to neural network reorganization in mice under different states.

CynoBrain: A unified high-resolution framework for cross-modal data integration for macaque brain mapping

CynoBrain provides a high-resolution framework for integrating multi-modal data in macaque brains, enabling cross-modal analysis and a unified reference space.

Cell-type specific optogenetic fMRI on basal forebrain reveals functional network basis of behavioral preference

The paper uses optogenetic fMRI in mice to show how specific basal forebrain neuron types influence whole-brain BOLD activations and behavioral preferences.

Cerebral Blood Volume Modulates Glymphatic Influx Through Extra-ventricular Cerebrospinal Fluid Volume

This study investigates how cerebral blood volume (CBV) affects glymphatic influx through changes in extra-ventricular cerebrospinal fluid volume across different anesthetic and awake conditions in mice.

A systematically optimized awake mouse fMRI paradigm

This paper presents an optimized awake mouse fMRI paradigm that reduces stress and motion artifacts, improving functional connectivity detection.

Global Mapping of Mouse CSF Flow via HEAP-METRIC Phase-contrast MRI

The paper develops a novel MRI technique, HEAP-METRIC, to map slow CSF flow in mice and shows it is reduced under anesthesia.
