Mapping Brain Function Assigning quantitative values associated with functionally-related change to spatial locations in the brain.
Blood Oxygenation Level Dependence (BOLD) Arteries Veins Capillary Bed Neurons Oxygen Rich Hemoglobin (HbO2) De-oxygenated Hemoglobin More oxygenated HbO2: Less MR signalMore deoxygenated HbO2: More MR signal
