Characterizing the relationship between neurovascular and neurometabolic changes that occurs in the brain is crucial for fMRI measurements. Here, we developed a model that relates changes in temperature in space and time to layer specific variations of CBF, CBV and BOLD acquired with differente tecniques and CMR 02 measured by calibrated MRI, under rest and stimulation. We estimated and measured temperature changes nearly 0.1 C in the middle/lower layers in agreement with a tighter coupling between CBF and CMR 02 during stimulation. Temperature mapping and fMRI measurements may provide an useful tool to measure metabolic and hemodynamic variations in the brain.
