Utilizing multimodal MRI to detect somatosensory stimulation in the rabbit

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a powerful tool to investigate neural processing. Utilizing animal models enables research that is difficult to perform in humans. However, some animal models require anesthesia or sedation when undergoing MRI which negatively

Functional networks of the awake rabbit brain

The brain constantly transmits signals whether during idle wakefulness (i.e., “at rest”) or different behavioral states like cognitively-demanding tasks. Studies using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in humans have consistently observed neural networks of coherent activity within
