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.
