Improving Human fMRI through Modeling and Imaging Microvascular Dynamics

在这个项目中，我们的目标是建立一个可靠的血管基线，以改进使用MRI进行人脑功能映射中的小尺度功能结构和大规模脑网络的映射。通过绘制人类和动物的高细节灰质血管系统图，并通过计算和匹配这些跨物种的图谱，我们将能够在体内验证这种方法，以确认新开发的方法具有更好的空间特异性。

In this project we aim to establish a reliable vascular baseline to improve mapping of both small-scale functional architecture and large-scale brain networks in functional human brain mapping using MRI. By mapping the grey matter vasculature with high detail in both humans and animals, and by computing and matching of these atlases across species we will be able to validate this approach in vivo to confirm the better spatial specificity of the newly developed approach.
