This study uses fMRI and DCM to analyze effective connectivity in the vmPFC-hippocampus-precuneus network during memory and imagination tasks, revealing task-specific patterns of neural interaction.

POPE optimizes EPI gradient pulses to reduce peripheral nerve stimulation, enabling high-resolution fMRI without exceeding safety limits.

This study investigates the neural patterns involved in constructing temporally extended mental events using fMRI, identifying a shared network involving the vmPFC, hippocampus, and posterior neocortex with hierarchical contributions.

This paper introduces a fast whole-brain MRI protocol for mesoscopic venous imaging in humans, enabling detailed vascular mapping in under seven minutes without contrast agents.

This paper identifies and mitigates Fuzzy Ripple artifacts in high-resolution fMRI, enabling sub-millimeter resolution and faster acquisition protocols.

This paper introduces a rapid fMRI acquisition method, T1234, that provides distortion-matched structural reference data, improving registration accuracy with functional scans.

This study compares the macrovascular contribution of different fMRI sequences at 9.4 Tesla, finding that bSSFP shows lower macrovascular signal dependence than EPI sequences.

The paper decodes brain activity differences caused by variations in acoustic environments using fMRI and identifies the posterior auditory cortex as processing direct-to-reverberant energy ratio for spatial perception.

This study uses 7T fMRI to show that all hippocampal subfields are involved in autobiographical memory retrieval, but the pre/parasubiculum in the anterior body is uniquely connected to AM-related brain regions and may support scene-based cognition.

This paper evaluates 3T layer-fMRI VASO for cortical layer-specific functional imaging, finding it feasible for motor tasks despite thermal noise limitations.

The paper introduces a new EPI sampling strategy called skipped-CAIPI that improves flexibility and efficiency in high spatiotemporal resolution imaging.
