Viewing faces that are perceived as emotionally expressive evokes enhanced neural
responses in multiple brain regions, a phenomenon thought to depend critically on the …

Layers and columns are the dominant processing units in the human (neo) cortex at the
mesoscopic scale. While the blood oxygenation dependent (BOLD) signal has a high …

Abstract Mesoscopic (0.1-0.5 mm) interrogation of the living human brain is critical for
advancing neuroscience and bridging the resolution gap with animal models. Despite the …

Laminar functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) using the gradient echo (GRE) blood
oxygenation level dependent (BOLD) contrast is prone to signal changes arising from large …

Cortical depth-dependent functional magnetic resonance image (fMRI), also known as layer-
fMRI, has the potential to capture directional neural information flow of brain computations …

Neurovascular alterations are increasingly recognized as a key feature of many brain
diseases. They can manifest as a reduction in resting cerebral blood flow or cerebrovascular …

Sub-millimeter functional imaging has the potential to capture cortical layer-specific
functional information flow within and across brain systems. Recent sequence …

Uncovering the cortical representation of the body has been at the core of human brain
mapping for decades, with special attention given to the digits. In the last decade, advances …

A major challenge for human neuroimaging using functional MRI is the differentiation of
neuronal excitation and inhibition which may induce positive and negative BOLD responses …

The neurons located in the striate cortex (V1) preferentially respond to the input from one
eye or another, forming a fingerprint-like pattern of ocular dominance columns (ODCs). At …
