Lectures and seminars Is there a BOLD fMRI signal in white brain matter?

fMRI signals from white brain matter (WM) are commonly considered to be irrelevant and/or to consist of noise. However, recent research has shown evidence that WM BOLD contrast can be reliably and consistently detected across subjects and that signal changes in WM are synchronized to experimental tasks. 

In this seminar, I, Peter Fransson, will discuss the neurophysiological basis for a possible WM BOLD signal and present results that suggest a vital role for WM BOLD fMRI in functional neuroimaging studies.

The seminar will be recorded and if you are unable to attend, you can view the seminar (as well as earlier KI MRC fMRI seminars) at https://ki.se/en/cns/lectures-and-seminars
