Sustained negative BOLD, blood flow and oxygen consumption response and its coupling to the positive response in the human brainAmir Shmuel
Center for Magnetic Resonance Research, University of Minnesota Medical School, Minneapolis, MN 55455, USA
Neuron 36:1195-210. 2002..Our findings support the contribution to the NBR of (1) a significant component of reduction in neuronal activity and (2) possibly a component of hemodynamic changes independent of the local changes in neuronal activity...
Zoomed functional imaging in the human brain at 7 Tesla with simultaneous high spatial and high temporal resolutionJosef Pfeuffer
Center for Magnetic Resonance Research, University of Minnesota Medical School, 2021 6th Street S E, Minneapolis, Minnesota 55455, USA
Neuroimage 17:272-86. 2002..The magnetization transfer effect induced by the outer-volume suppression pulses was investigated and found to be increased during neuronal activity...
Robust detection of ocular dominance columns in humans using Hahn Spin Echo BOLD functional MRI at 7 TeslaEssa Yacoub
Center for Magnetic Resonance Research, Department of Radiology, University of Minnesota Medical School, 2021 6th Street S E, Minneapolis, MN 55455, USA
Neuroimage 37:1161-77. 2007....
Signal and noise characteristics of Hahn SE and GE BOLD fMRI at 7 T in humansEssa Yacoub
Center for Magnetic Resonance Research, Department of Radiology, University of Minnesota Medical School, Minneapolis, MN 55455, USA
Neuroimage 24:738-50. 2005..It was concluded that HSE imaging yields a significantly reduced amount of nonspecific signals compared to GE imaging, and, would be the method of choice (over GE) for high-resolution applications in humans...
Perfusion-based high-resolution functional imaging in the human brain at 7 TeslaJosef Pfeuffer
Center for Magnetic Resonance Research, Department of Radiology, University of Minnesota Medical School, Minneapolis, USA
Magn Reson Med 47:903-11. 2002..High-resolution functional CBF imaging is significant for neuroscience research because it provides better localization and more specific information than BOLD for monitoring brain function...
Spatio-temporal point-spread function of fMRI signal in human gray matter at 7 TeslaAmir Shmuel
Center for MR Research, University of Minnesota Medical School, 2021 6th St SE, Minneapolis, MN, USA
Neuroimage 35:539-52. 2007..The choice of optimal stimulus duration represents a trade-off between the spatial specificity and the overhead associated with short stimulus duration...
Robust controlled functional MRI in alert monkeys at high magnetic field: effects of jaw and body movementsGeorgios A Keliris
Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics, Spemannstr 38, 72076 Tuebingen, Germany
Neuroimage 36:550-70. 2007..It is anticipated that the techniques presented here will prove useful for alert monkey fMRI at any magnetic field...
Functional MR imaging in the awake monkey: effects of motion on dynamic off-resonance and processing strategiesJosef Pfeuffer
Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics, Department Physiology of Cognitive Processes, 72076 Tubingen, Germany
Magn Reson Imaging 25:869-82. 2007..Highly activated voxels also displayed good reproducibility between trials. On average, the BOLD amplitude response to a short 3-s visual stimulus was close to 2%...
Negative functional MRI response correlates with decreases in neuronal activity in monkey visual area V1Amir Shmuel
Max Planck Institute for Biological Cybernetics, Spemannstr 38, 72076 Tuebingen, Germany
Nat Neurosci 9:569-77. 2006..The NBR was associated with comparable decreases in local field potentials and multiunit activity. Our findings indicate that a significant component of the NBR originates in neuronal activity decreases...

Hum Brain Mapp 29:751-61. 2008....
Retinotopic axis specificity and selective clustering of feedback projections from V2 to V1 in the owl monkeyAmir Shmuel
Department of Neurobiology, The Weizmann Institute of Science, 76100 Rehovot, Israel
J Neurosci 25:2117-31. 2005..We conclude that the feedback connections from V2 to V1 might play a role in enhancing the response in V1 to collinear contour elements...
The spatial pattern of response magnitude and selectivity for orientation and direction in cat visual cortexNicholas V Swindale
Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Sciences, University of British Columbia, 2550 Willow Street, Vancouver, BC, Canada V5Z 3N9
Cereb Cortex 13:225-38. 2003..Orientation and direction preference angles are always closely orthogonal. Reversals in direction preference form lines that originate precisely in orientation singularities...
