Simultaneous multislice imaging (SMS) using parallel image reconstruction has rapidly
advanced to become a major imaging technique. The primary benefit is an acceleration in …

Resting state functional magnetic resonance imaging (rs-fMRI) is based on spontaneous
fluctuations in the blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) signal, which occur simultaneously …

Abstract The Human Connectome Project (HCP) relies primarily on three complementary
magnetic resonance (MR) methods. These are: 1) resting state functional MR imaging …

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is a class of imaging methods developed to
demonstrate regional, time-varying changes in brain metabolism. 1–3 These metabolic …

Echo planar imaging (EPI) is an MRI technique of particular value to neuroscience, with its
use for virtually all functional MRI (fMRI) and diffusion imaging of fiber connections in the …

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has become an indispensable tool for
investigating the human brain. However, the inherently poor signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) of …

Gradient and spin echo (GRE and SE, respectively) weighted magnetic resonance images
report on neuronal activity via changes in deoxygenated hemoglobin content and cerebral …

The cortex is a massively recurrent network, characterized by feedforward and feedback
connections between brain areas as well as lateral connections within an area …

Columnar arrangements of neurons with similar preference have been suggested as the
fundamental processing units of the cerebral cortex. Within these columnar arrangements …

The objective of this study was to investigate the feasibility of whole‐body imaging at 7T. To
achieve this objective, new technology and methods were developed. Radio frequency (RF) …
