The paper investigates push-pull interactions between superior colliculi in dynamic vision mode using rat functional MRI and lesions, finding frequency-dependent modulations in tectotectal pathways.

This study uses deuterium metabolic imaging to characterize metabolic heterogeneity in mouse glioblastoma models, linking glucose turnover kinetics to tumor phenotype differences and invasion capacity.

The paper uses ultrafast fMRI and a Layer-based Connective Field model to distinguish feedforward and feedback signaling in cortical circuits, revealing distinct layer-specific connectivity patterns.

This study maps brain-wide visual receptive fields and spatial frequency tuning in adult rats after visual experience, showing topographic remapping and functional sharpening.

StandardRat improves functional connectivity specificity in rat brains through a standardized MRI protocol tested across 20 centers.

The paper investigates sensory system aberrations in a Parkinson's Disease mouse model using fMRI and finds neural origins for observed deficits.

The paper detects intrinsic macroscale oscillatory modes in fMRI signals that drive long-range functional connectivity across brain structures under different anesthesia conditions.

The paper introduces SANDI, a diffusion MRI method for characterizing cellular and neurite densities in mouse brains, showing strong correlation with the Allen brain atlas.
