Periodic Reporting for period 1 - SPECIFIC fMRI (From surrogate hemodynamics-based fMRI towards direct functional imaging of neural activity via sensing activity-induced cell swellings and neurotransmitter releases in vivo)

The Marie Sklodowksa Curie proposal revolved around developing new methods to quantify neural activity more directly then the state-of- the-art hemodynamic-based MRI methods. We proposed to develop microstructural methods capable of resolving cell swellings upon activation;...
