This study develops a computational model of neurotransmitter cycling to predict glutamate and GABA dynamics in response to exogenous ketones, supported by MRS data.

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.

The paper shows that perceived and unperceived visual stimuli with similar BOLD-fMRI responses have distinct neurometabolic profiles in V1, with lactate and glutamate accumulation only during perception.

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.
