Modulation of water diffusion by activation-induced neural cell swelling in Aplysia Californica

Abstract Diffusion functional magnetic resonance imaging (DfMRI) has been proposed as a method for functional neuroimaging studies, as an alternative to blood oxygenation level dependent (BOLD)-fMRI. DfMRI is thought to more directly reflect neural activation, but its exact mechanism remains unclear...
