Abstract The Human Connectome Projects in Development (HCP-D) and Aging (HCP-A) are
two large-scale brain imaging studies that will extend the recently completed HCP Young …

This article reviews the most relevant state-of-the-art magnetic resonance (MR) techniques,
which are clinically available to investigate brain diseases. MR acquisition techniques …

Cerebrovascular imaging is of great interest in the understanding of neurological disease.
MRI is a non‐invasive technology that can visualize and provide information on:(i) the …

Previous brain imaging studies investigating the brain processing of scratching used an
exogenous intervention mimicking scratching, performed not by the subjects themselves, but …

Scratching evokes a rewarding and pleasurable sensation, particularly in chronic itch
patients. To date, no study has investigated the cerebral activity during scratching in chronic …

Arterial spin labeling (ASL) imaging is a powerful magnetic resonance imaging technique
that allows to quantitatively measure blood perfusion non‐invasively, which has great …

Multi-band echo planar imaging (MB-EPI), a new approach to increase data acquisition
efficiency and/or temporal resolution, has the potential to overcome critical limitations of …

Pulsed arterial spin labeling (PASL) at multiple inflow times (multi-TIs) is advantageous for
the measurement of brain perfusion in patients with long arterial transit times (ATTs) as in …

Cerebral blood flow (CBF) is a critical physiological parameter of brain health, and it can be
non-invasively measured with arterial spin labeling (ASL) MRI. In this study, we evaluated …

Opioid receptors in the central nervous system are important modulators of itch transmission.
In this study, we examined the effect of mixed-action opioid butorphanol on histamine itch …
