This paper introduces a novel MRI technique for simultaneous fMRI of rat brain and spinal cord, demonstrating its feasibility for functional CNS assessments.

This study uses fMRI to show that whisker stimulation in awake rats activates multiple sensory systems, with distinct responses in core and non-core brain regions, and that anesthesia obscures high-order processing.

This paper introduces MB-SWIFT fMRI to study whole-brain activity in head-fixed rats during spontaneous behavior, showing functional parcellation and behavior-related brain activity.
