CORRELATION OF FUNCTIONAL AND STRUCTURAL UNITS IN CEREBRAL CORTEX

这个子项目是许多研究子项目中利用 资源由NIH/NCRR资助的中心拨款提供。子项目和 调查员(PI)可能从NIH的另一个来源获得了主要资金， 并因此可以在其他清晰的条目中表示。列出的机构是 该中心不一定是调查人员的机构。 使用强大的磁铁，这项研究的目的是获得极高分辨率的皮质血管图像，生成血管树的三维模型，并将其与功能磁共振信号相关联。这些研究的结果将极大地加深我们对血管网络的了解，并有利于包括功能磁共振成像、脑血管疾病和癌症血管生成在内的各种研究应用。

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.
