Area of Science:

  • Neuroimaging
  • Magnetic Resonance Imaging
  • Brain Function Mapping

Background:

  • Gradient Echo (GE)-BOLD laminar fMRI activation profiles suffer from degraded specificity due to intracortical veins.
  • Intracortical veins propagate activation signals from lower to upper cortical layers, distorting laminar specificity.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a deconvolution approach to correct for signal propagation effects in GE-BOLD laminar fMRI.
  • To recover accurate, layer-specific fMRI activation profiles by removing the influence of intracortical veins.

Main Methods:

  • A physiological Point Spread Function (PSF) was used to deconvolve measured laminar fMRI profiles.
  • The PSF was characterized by a TE-dependent peak-to-tail (p2t) value, estimated via simulation and experimental data from multi-echo 3D-FLASH sequences.
  • Laminar data from a multi-echo 3D-FLASH sequence were used to experimentally estimate p2t values and assess deconvolution sensitivity.

Main Results:

  • Deconvolved fMRI profiles showed high similarity to gold-standard high-resolution 3D-EPI data across a range of p2t values (5-9).
  • Corrected profiles exhibited a flatter shape and high correlation with vein-unaffected gold-standard profiles.
  • The method demonstrated robustness in recovering layer-specific activation, with an empirically determined p2t value of 6.8.

Conclusions:

  • Deconvolution is a robust method for mitigating signal propagation artifacts caused by intracortical veins in laminar fMRI.
  • This approach enables the acquisition of highly layer-specific activation profiles.
  • The method preserves the efficiency benefits of GE-BOLD sequences while improving laminar specificity.
