To
examine what extent consistence of the measurements between BOLD fMRI and
local field potential (LFP), we evaluated BOLD and LFP simultaneously in rat
somatosensory cortex with a combined measurement technique. The preliminary
results indicated a dissociation between BOLD and LFP during low-level neural
activity, which might mirror the limitation of neurovascular coupling, the
bridge between BOLD and neural activity.
