摘要
The successful use of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) as a way of visualizing cortical function depends largely on the important relationships between the signal observed and the underlying neuronal activity that it is believed to represent. Currently, a relatively direct correlation seems to be favoured between fMRI signals and population synaptic activity (including inhibitory and excitatory activity), with a secondary and potentially more variable correlation with cellular action potentials.
