Blood oxygen-level-dependent functional magnetic resonance imaging (BOLD fMRI) has
rapidly become a popular technique for the investigation of brain function in healthy …

This article reviews the evaluation and optimization of the preprocessing steps for blood-
oxygenation-level-dependent (BOLD) functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). This …

The global signal is widely used as a regressor or normalization factor for removing the
effects of global variations in the analysis of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) …

Resting state studies of spontaneous fluctuations in the functional MRI (fMRI) blood oxygen
level dependent (BOLD) signal have shown great promise in mapping the brain's intrinsic …

Low-frequency fluctuations in fMRI signal have been used to map several consistent resting
state networks in the brain. Using the posterior cingulate cortex as a seed region, functional …

The default mode network (DMN), based in ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC) and
posterior cingulate cortex (PCC), exhibits higher metabolic activity at rest than during …

Classically regarded as motor structures, the basal ganglia subserve a wide range of
functions, including motor, cognitive, motivational, and emotional processes. Consistent with …

Deactivation refers to increased neural activity during low-demand tasks or rest compared
with high-demand tasks. Several groups have reported that a particular set of brain regions …

We present a technique for removing global effects from functional magnetic resonance
imaging (fMRI) images, using a voxel-level linear model of the global signal (LMGS). The …

The slow fluctuations of the blood-oxygenation-level dependent (BOLD) signal in resting-
state fMRI are widely utilized as a surrogate marker of ongoing neural activity. Spontaneous …
