概括
大声的扫描仪噪声显著改变了小鼠的静止状态功能连接 (FC),影响了大脑网络对抗性. 功能性超声波 (fUS) 显示了这些效应,这表明噪声水平对于解释静止状态fMRI (fMRI) 数据至关重要.
科学领域:
- 神经成像是一种神经成像.
- 神经科学是一个神经科学.
- 生物物理学的生物物理.
背景情况:
- 来自功能磁共振成像 (fMRI) 扫描仪的声噪声可能会影响静止状态功能连接 (FC) 测量.
- 这种声学噪声对静止状态FC的确切影响仍然不完全理解.
- 功能性超声波 (fUS) 提供了一个替代的神经成像方法,测量相对脑血量 (rCBV) 没有可听的噪音.
研究的目的:
- 为了研究不同音响噪声水平对静止状态功能连接 (rsfUS) 的影响,在醒着的小鼠中使用fUS.
- 在类似的噪音条件下,将fUS发现与静止状态fMRI (rsfMRI) 数据进行比较.

主要方法:
- 休息状态fUS (rsfUS) 在静音,80dB和110dB的声噪条件下在清醒的小鼠中进行.
- 休息状态fMRI (rsfMRI) 使用11.7特斯拉扫描仪进行比较.
- 使用fUS进行了与事件相关的听觉刺激实验,以评估大脑区域对噪音的反应.
主要成果:
- 增加的声音噪声水平 (80 dB,110 dB) 显著降低了rsfUS.rsfUS中后膜干细胞和听觉皮层之间的FC.
- 观察到,随着噪音水平的上升,下肢皮层 (DMN) 和运动皮层 (TSN) 之间的FC抗相关性显著增加.
- fUS听觉刺激显示了听觉皮层中强大的rCBV变化和运动皮层中负的rCBV变化,与静止状态实验中观察到的网络变化一致.
- 在较大噪声条件下,FC模式显示rsfUS和rsfMRI之间的一致性增加.

Magnetic Resonance Imaging
5.2K
Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a noninvasive medical imaging technique based on a phenomenon of nuclear physics discovered in the 1930s, in which matter exposed to magnetic fields and radio waves was found to emit radio signals. In 1970, a physician and researcher named Raymond Damadian noticed that malignant (cancerous) tissue gave off different signals than normal body tissue. He applied for a patent for the first MRI scanning device in clinical use by the early 1980s. The early MRI...
