Detection of neuronal current MRI in human without BOLD contamination

Abstract: Controversial results regarding the detectability of neuronal current magnetic resonance imaging (ncMRI) have been reported in different studies on human subjects. In all the previous studies, the ncMRI signal was detected under a continuous and paradigm task-induced blood oxygen level dependent (BOLD) signal background. The aim of this study is to investigate the possibility of detecting ncMRI signal in human brain in the situation that task-induced BOLD background is absent or minimum. In this study, by adop… Show more

“…Early attempts at using MRI to detect a phase shift or signal loss caused by electrical currents were successful in phantom and in vitro experiments. However, in vivo studies in the brain using this approach have remained challenging and controversial, because the local magnetic fields induced by neuronal currents are not only extremely weak, but can also be oscillatory, resulting in temporal cancellation within the acquisition window, and because of challenging hemodynamic, respiratory, and cardiac‐related confounds. More recently, spin‐lock techniques based on the rotary saturation effect, which can be tuned to detect magnetic field oscillations within specific frequency bands, such as those induced by functional neuroelectric currents, have shown promising results in phantoms but have not yet been applied successfully in vivo, even in rats …”

“…Phantom experiments on nc‐MRI have yielded promising results , but the conclusions from human experiments have been controversial. Detection of a nc‐MRI signal has been reported by several groups , but others have failed to find such effects with current MRI sensitivities . One important confounding factor in the in vivo nc‐MRI studies that yielded positive results is the inescapable presence of the BOLD effect.…”
