fMRI

?
What does BOLD fMRI stand for?
Blood-Oxygen-Level Dependent
1 of 15
Why is blood "magnetic"?
Based on whether or not hemoglobin in red blood cells is carrying oxygen
2 of 15
Oxyhemoglobin is ..
Diamagnetic (not magnetic)
3 of 15
What does oxyhemoglobin do to signal?
Increases signal a bit and makes image brighter
4 of 15
Deoxyhemoglobin is...
Paramagnetic (magnetic)
5 of 15
What does deoxyhemoglobin do to signal?
Decreases it a lot and makes image darker
6 of 15
What is the total of deoxy and oxyhemoglobin called?
Total hemoglobin or cerebral blood volume
7 of 15
Deoxyhemoglobin appears when the brain extracts .... for metabolism
Oxygen
8 of 15
What would we expect to happen?
Deoxyhemoglobin would increase as oxygen is used up
9 of 15
Why does this not happen?
Because flow increases so much
10 of 15
Therefore ..... of hemoglobin leads to increase in fMRI signal
Washing away
11 of 15
What increases in specific region following presentation of stimulus?
Cerebral blood flow
12 of 15
This is stronger than what?
Greater than any oxygen consumption
13 of 15
However what is "a dip" that occurs at the start of the process?
Increase in deoxyhemoglobin
14 of 15
What does this cause?
Temporary dip in fMRI signal
