Behaviors and brain disorders involve neural circuits that are widely distributed in the brain.
The ability to map the functional connectivity of distributed circuits, and to assess how this
connectivity evolves over time, will be facilitated by methods for characterizing the network
impact of activating a specific subcircuit, cell type, or projection pathway. We describe here
an approach using high-resolution blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD) functional
MRI (fMRI) of the awake mouse brain-to measure the distributed BOLD response evoked by …
