32nd Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society ATP Consumption and Neural Electrical Activity: A Physiological Model for Brain Imaging Rita Gafaniz and J. Miguel Sanches Institute for Systems and Robotics Instituto Superior Técnico Lisbon, Portugal 32nd Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Motivation The relation between neural electrical activity and oxygen consumption is the key issue in almost all brain image modalities. 32nd Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Hemodynamic Response Function ATP consumption versus Electrical Activity Energy Metabolism e.g. Mitochondria and Glycolysis BOLD Membrane Blood flow Vasculature O2, C02 & Glc 32nd Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
Goal Practical, tractable and simultaneously accurate mathematical model to describe the relation between neural electrical activity and oxygen consumption is needed. A physiologically-based mathematical model relating the electrical activity with the corresponding ATP consumption rate, ATPr, is proposed. 32nd Annual International Conference of the IEEE Engineering in Medicine and Biology Society
