Mechanistic Mathematical Modeling Tests Hypotheses of the Neurovascular Coupling in fMRI.

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) measures brain activity by detecting the blood-oxygen-level dependent (BOLD) response to neural activity. The BOLD response depends on the neurovascular coupling, which connects cerebral blood flow, cerebral blood volume, and deoxyhemoglobin level to neur...
