We modeled the BOLD response using a set of in vivo
vascular measurements obtained with oxygen-sensitive
two-photon microscopy. Our model predicted that the
folded cortical orientation relative to the main
magnetic field can affect the amplitude of the BOLD
response by up to 40%. Experimental BOLD measurements
during a hypercapnic challenge confirmed this
hypothesis. We proposed a method to correct for this
confounding effect.
