Summary

Resting-state fMRI (RS-fMRI) signal fluctuations are influenced by spin density (S(0)) at short echo times and transverse relaxation time (T(2)(*)) at longer echo times. New spectral indices quantify these contributions for improved RS-fMRI data interpretation.

Area of Science:

  • Neuroimaging
  • Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI)

Background:

  • Resting-state fMRI (RS-fMRI) signal fluctuations are debated to originate from spin density (S(0)) or transverse relaxation time (T(2)(*)).
  • Characterization of S(0) and T(2)(*) contributions to RS-fMRI signals remains incomplete.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the spatial and spectral characteristics of functional connectivity in different brain systems.
  • To differentiate the contributions of S(0) and T(2)(*) to the RS-fMRI signal across various echo times (TE).

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a multiple gradient-echo sequence at 3T to acquire RS-fMRI data.
  • Analyzed spatial and spectral properties of functional connectivity in sensorimotor, default-mode, dorsal attention, and visual networks.
  • Proposed novel spectral signal change (SSC) and spectral contrast-to-noise ratio (SCNR) indices.

Main Results:

  • Short TEs (≤ 14 ms) showed local correlations attributed to S(0), while long TEs (> 22 ms) revealed long-range connections mediated by T(2)(*).
  • Spectral power of T(2)(*)-weighted signals increased with TE, unlike the flat spectrum of S(0).
  • SSC and SCNR indices demonstrated TE dependency, mirroring activation-based fMRI contrasts.

Conclusions:

  • Functional connectivity in RS-fMRI is influenced by both S(0) and T(2)(*), with distinct spatial and spectral signatures.
  • The spectral features of S(0) and T(2)(*) are crucial for interpreting and quantifying RS-fMRI data.
  • Brain network connectivity may be frequency-constrained, highlighting the utility of spectral analysis.
