A better understanding of carbon dioxide (CO2) effect on brain activity may have a profound
impact on clinical studies using CO2 manipulation to assess cerebrovascular reserve and …

The slow fluctuations of the blood-oxygenation-level dependent (BOLD) signal in resting-
state fMRI are widely utilized as a surrogate marker of ongoing neural activity. Spontaneous …

An argument for a Copernican revolution in our consideration of mental features—a shift in
