CORRELATION OF FUNCTIONAL AND STRUCTURAL UNITS IN CEREBRAL CORTEX

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中的一个 由NIH/NCRR资助的中心赠款提供的资源。子项目和 研究者（PI）可能从另一个NIH来源获得主要资金， 因此可以在其他CRISP条目中表示。所列机构为 研究中心，而研究中心不一定是研究者所在的机构。 本研究的目的是使用一个强大的磁铁，以获得极高分辨率的图像的皮质血管，生成一个三维模型的血管树，并将其与功能磁共振成像信号。这些研究的结果将大大提高我们对血管网络的理解，并有利于各种研究应用，包括功能磁共振成像，脑血管疾病和癌症血管生成。

This subproject is one of many research subprojects utilizing the resources provided by a Center grant funded by NIH/NCRR. The subproject and investigator (PI) may have received primary funding from another NIH source, and thus could be represented in other CRISP entries. The institution listed is for the Center, which is not necessarily the institution for the investigator. Using a powerful magnet, this study is aims to obtain extremely high-resolution images of cortical vessels, generate a 3-D model of the vascular tree and correlate it with the fMRI signals. The outcome of these studies will greatly enhance our understanding of the vascular network and benefit a variety of research applications including fMRI, cerebrovascular disease, and cancer angiogenesis.
