UltraFast Layer-Resolved Encoding (uFLARE) functional MRI deciphers bidirectional signaling from spontaneous activity

Abstract Deciphering the directionality of information flow in cortical circuits is essential for understanding brain dynamics, learning, and neuroplasticity after injury. However, current noninvasive methods cannot distinguish bottom-up from top-down signals across entire networks, including deep b...
