Spinal fMRI demonstrates segmental organisation of functionally connected networks in the cervical spinal cord: A test–retest reliability study
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2024 at "Human Brain Mapping"
DOI: 10.1002/hbm.26600
Abstract: Resting functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) studies have identified intrinsic spinal cord activity, which forms organised motor (ventral) and sensory (dorsal) resting‐state networks. However, to facilitate the use of spinal fMRI in, for example, clinical… read more here.

Impact of autocalibration method on accelerated EPI of the cervical spinal cord at 7 T
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Magnetic Resonance in Medicine"
DOI: 10.1002/mrm.29415
Abstract: The spinal cord contains sensorimotor neural circuits of scientific and clinical interest. However, spinal cord functional MRI (fMRI) is significantly more technically demanding than brain fMRI, due primarily to its proximity to the lungs. Accelerated… read more here.
