Differences in layer-specific activation of the insula during interoceptive vs. exteroceptive attention

Matthias Müller-Schrader, Frederike H. Petzschner, Jakob Heinzle, Lars Kasper, Katharina V. Wellstein, Johanna Bayer, Maria Engel, Samuel Bianchi, Lilian A. E. Weber, Klaas P. Pruessmann, Klaas Enno Stephan

The paper investigates layer-specific activation in the insula during interoceptive and exteroceptive attention tasks using fMRI and finds increased activity in upper cortical layers during interoceptive attention.

Advances in Spiral fMRI: A High-resolution Study with Single-shot Acquisition

Lars Kasper, Maria Engel, Jakob Heinzle, Matthias Müller-Schrader, Nadine N. Graedel, Jonas Reber, Thomas Schmid, Christoph Barmet, Bertram J. Wilm, Klaas Enno Stephan, Klaas P. Pruessmann

This paper demonstrates high-resolution single-shot spiral fMRI at 7T with sub-millimeter resolution, achieving excellent image quality and BOLD sensitivity with minimal blurring artifacts.

Feasibility of spiral fMRI based on an LTI gradient model

Nadine N. Graedel, Lars Kasper, Maria Engel, Jennifer Nussbaum, Bertram J. Wilm, Klaas P. Pruessmann, S. Johanna Vannesjo

This paper evaluates using a one-time gradient calibration to improve spiral fMRI image quality and functional results by predicting k-space trajectories with a linear time-invariant model.
