In Dynamic Brain Imaging: Multi-Modal Methods and In Vivo Applications, leading experts in magnetic resonance, electrophysiology, and optical imaging methods explain basic principles of their respective techniques and demonstrate their power in depicting functional activation patterns en route to a basic understanding of the dynamic processes underlying various neuroimaging signals. Thenovel results, from various species, provide a new understanding of dynamics of neural activity that span a wide spatiotemporal range. Numerous cutting-edge applications are used as examples to illustrate enticing possibilities of combining techniques toward studies of normal function and disease. Exclusive examples of dynamic functional imaging of the cerebral cortex, olfactory bulb, and retina are used to demonstrate the effectiveness of each method for applications to the neurosciences. Contains a review of developments in technical features of dynamic multi-modal imaging and analytical tools for characterizationof dynamic signals Includes novel multi-modal applications in neuroimaging toepilepsy, with state-of-the-art demonstrations of increased sensitivity and specificity of detection INDICE: From the contents Dynamic imaging of brain function.- Fractal characterization of complexity in dynamic signals: Application to cerebral hemodynamics.- Wide-field and two-photon imaging of brain activity with voltage- and calcium-sensitive dyes.- Two-photon imaging of capillary blood flow in olfactory bulb glomeruli.- Astrocytic calcium signaling: Mechanism and implications for functional brain imaging.- Using the light scattering component of optical intrinsic signals to visualize in vivo functional structures of neural tissues.- Methods for studying functional interactions among neuronal populations.- Magnetoencephalography (MEG).- Functional neuroimaging of spike-wave seizures.-Tactile and non-tactile sensory paradigms for fMRI and neurophysiologic studies in rodents.- Using fMRI for elucidating dynamic interactions.- Resting-state functional connectivity in animal models: Modulations by exsanguinations.- Dynamic magnetic resonance imaging of cerebral blood flow using arterial spin labeling.-
