To improve functional understanding of odor-evoked glomerular activity patterns revealed by BOLD signal and to relate how input activities of glomeruli reflected by calcium imaging relate to bulk neuropil activity of fMRI, we designed a study to image the same rats with fMRI first and then with calcium imaging. Excellent correspondence between odor-evoked fMRI maps and calcium-sensitive dye imaging patterns of input activity suggests input activity is a dominant part of neuropilar activity in glomeruli. In conclusion, multi-modal functional imaging of rat olfactory bulb with odorant stimulation provides new opportunities for gaining insights into complexities of neuropilar activities.
