This paper maps α-synuclein pathology and dopaminergic degeneration in mice using multimodal imaging and microscopy, showing spread along the nigrostriatal pathway and microstructural changes.

This paper develops a wireless system for simultaneous EEG and fMRI recording, demonstrating its ability to capture neurovascular coupling in the somatosensory cortex.

The paper assesses consistency of rat fMRI results across 12 centers using a unified pipeline and identifies variability due to experimental differences.

This paper introduces inductively-coupled ear-bars (ICEs) to enhance fMRI signal in rat entorhinal cortex, achieving a 2-fold SNR increase and enabling better connectivity mapping.

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.

This paper develops an implantable inductive coil detector to enhance focal fMRI signal sensitivity in animal brain imaging, achieving a 2-3 fold increase in tSNR compared to conventional methods.

This paper develops a bilateral line-scanning fMRI method to map laminar-specific interhemispheric connectivity in rodents, revealing layer-specific coherence patterns in the corpus callosum.

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