Understanding the spatiotemporal features of the hemodynamic response function (HRF) to brain stimulation is essential to the proper application of neuroimaging methods to study brain function. Here, we investigated the spatiotemporal evolution of the blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) and cerebral blood volume (CBV) HRF in conscious, awake marmosets (Callithrix jacchus), a New World nonhuman primate with a lissencephalic brain and with growing use in biomedical research. The marmosets were acclimated to head fixation and placed in a 7T MRI. Somatosensory stimulation (333 μs pulses, 2 mA amplitude, 64 Hz) was delivered bilaterally via pairs of contact electrodes. A block design paradigm was used in which the stimulus duration increased in pseudo-random order from a single pulse up to 256 electrical pulses (4 s). For CBV measurements, 30 mg/kg of iron oxide nanoparticles (MION) injected intravenously was used. Robust BOLD and CBV HRFs were obtained in S1, S2, and caudate at all stimuli conditions. In particular, BOLD and CBV responses to a single 333-μs-long stimulus were reliably measured, and the CBV HRF presented shorter onset time and time-to-peak than the BOLD HRF. Both the size of the regions of activation and the peak amplitude of the HRFs grew quickly with increasing stimulus duration, and saturated for stimulus durations greater than 1s. Onset times in S1 and S2 were faster than in caudate. Finally, the fine spatiotemporal features of the HRF in awake marmosets were similar to those obtained in humans, indicating that the continued refinement of awake non-human primate models is essential to maximize the applicability of animal fMRI studies to the investigation of human brain function. We investigated the spatiotemporal evolution of the BOLD and CBV fMRI responses to bilateral wrist stimulation of varying durations in conscious, awake marmosets. BOLD and CBV responses to a single 333-μs-long stimulus were reliably measured, and the CBV HRF presented a shorter onset time and time-to-peak. Both the size of the regions of activation and the peak amplitude of the HRFs grew quickly with stimulus duration, and saturated for stimulus durations greater than 1s.
