Interpretation of BOLD MRI signals in rat brain using simultaneously measured near-infrared spectrophotometric information

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the origin of the signal changes in the blood oxygenation level dependent effect (BOLD) and the influence of oxygen metabolism by utilizing near-infrared spectrophotometry (NIRS), which can measure deoxyhemoglobin (deoxyHb) content in blood vessels and redox states of cytochrome oxidase in whole tissue. Simultaneous MRI and NIRS measurements of the rat head were performed by changing oxygen concentrations in the inhalant gas. The signal intensity based on the BOLD effect depended on the influence of both arterial and venous blood deoxygenation in the brain, whose relative contributions differed at various points. In this paper, it is noteworthy that the differential apparent transverse relaxation rate between two conditions in the brain areas was linearly correlated with deoxyHb content determined by NIRS, except in severe hypoxia, and that no reduction of cytochrome oxidase occurred under the same conditions. These results indicate that the influence of hemodynamic changes on the signal intensity of the BOLD effect, and therefore functional MRI, can be elucidated by the NIRS information to determine actual changes of blood deoxygenation and blood volume.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
