Olfaction is one of the most important sensory systems,
particularly for rodents. Investigation of the olfactory
network from olfactory bulb to the whole brain opens a
unique window for us to better understand numerous brain
functions. To our knowledge, no previous studies on the
whole brain circuit activation in rodent with odor
stimulation have been reported. A novel method is
necessary for investigation of the pathway of olfactory
function. In this study, fMRI responses of the mouse
whole brain to odor stimulation was achieved by using
blood-volume weighted magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles
(MION) to achieve high fMRI sensitivity.
