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

This paper develops a multi-slice line-scanning fMRI method to map laminar-specific functional connectivity in anesthetized rats, revealing trial-dependent and layer-specific spatiotemporal patterns of BOLD responses and resting-state signal propagation.

The paper investigates the relationship between lateral hypothalamic activity and pupil dynamics across different brain states, finding that LH activity modulates the correlation between pupil dynamics and ACC signals.

The paper identifies trial-specific brain state patterns linked to pupil dynamics in anesthetized rats using PCA and decoding methods.

This paper uses echo-state networks to predict rs-fMRI signal fluctuations from vascular dynamics in rodent and human brains, revealing brain states with global synchrony and decoupled internal correlations.

This study uses optogenetic activation of the corpus callosum to map brain-wide network effects using fMRI and calcium recording.
