X Abstract

Changes in the cerebral blood flow (CBF) baseline produce significant changes to the hemodynamic response. This work shows that increases in the baseline blood flow level produce blood oxygenation-level dependent (BOLD) and blood flow responses that are slower and lower in amplitude, while decreases in the baseline blood flow level produce faster and higher amplitude hemodynamic responses. This effect was characterized using a vascular model of the hemodynamic response that separated arterial blood flow response from the venous blood volume response and linked the input stimulus to the vascular response. The model predicted the baseline blood flow level effects to be dominated by changes in the arterial vasculature. Specifically, it predicted changes in the arterial blood flow time constant and venous blood volume time constant parameters of +294% and -24%, respectively, for a 27% increase in the baseline blood flow. The vascular model performance was compared to an empirical model of the hemodynamic response. The vascular and empirical hemodynamic models captured most of the baseline blood flow level effects observed and can be used to correct for these effects in fMRI data. While the empirical hemodynamic model is easy to implement, it did not incorporate any explicit physiological information.

CiteULike organises scholarly (or academic) papers or literature and provides bibliographic (which means it makes bibliographies) for universities and higher education establishments. It helps undergraduates and postgraduates. People studying for PhDs or in postdoctoral (postdoc) positions. The service is similar in scope to EndNote or RefWorks or any other reference manager like BibTeX, but it is a social bookmarking service for scientists and humanities researchers.
