Longitudinal Resting-State fMRI of Awake Mice During Habituation: Stress, Head Motion, and Functional Connectivity
Sang-Han Choi, Geun Ho Im, Seong-Gi Kim
This study measures stress and head motion in mice during fMRI habituation and finds that CORT levels decrease with habituation outside the MRI but remain elevated during in-scanner habituation, while motion and connectivity remain stable.
