This study links changes in cerebral energy efficiency metrics to neural network reorganization in mice under different states.

CynoBrain provides a high-resolution framework for integrating multi-modal data in macaque brains, enabling cross-modal analysis and a unified reference space.

The paper uses optogenetic fMRI in mice to show how specific basal forebrain neuron types influence whole-brain BOLD activations and behavioral preferences.

This study investigates how cerebral blood volume (CBV) affects glymphatic influx through changes in extra-ventricular cerebrospinal fluid volume across different anesthetic and awake conditions in mice.

This study uses diffusion kurtosis MRI to show that anesthesia reduces mean diffusivity and kurtosis in both gray and white matter of mice, suggesting increased extracellular space volume.

This study shows that deep brain stimulation of the medial lateral habenula in rats rapidly alleviates depressive-like symptoms and correlates with fMRI activation patterns.

The paper integrates structural and functional connectivity data from marmoset brains to map functional networks, develop a deep-learning parcellation generator, and investigate structural-functional relationships.

This paper presents an optimized awake mouse fMRI paradigm that reduces stress and motion artifacts, improving functional connectivity detection.

The paper investigates hierarchical predictive auditory processing in marmoset brains using fMRI and ECoG, showing a gradient from local to global processing across brain regions.

This paper introduces a 3D U-Net method for automated skull stripping in mouse fMRI, achieving high accuracy and matching manual segmentation results.

The paper develops a novel MRI technique, HEAP-METRIC, to map slow CSF flow in mice and shows it is reduced under anesthesia.

The paper analyzes rsfMRI data in awake rats to show that the global brain signal involves thalamo-cortical and hippocampo-cortical network co-activations.

This study demonstrates the feasibility of simultaneously recording calcium and BOLD signals in rats using GCaMP6-based fiber photometry and fMRI, showing reproducible responses to visual stimuli.

This paper reviews differences in neurovascular coupling and brain circuit function between awake and anesthetized animals and discusses innovations for studying these in un-anesthetized models.
