It has been increasingly recognized that anesthesia has profound impacts on functional magnetic resonance imaging (fRMI) studies. Specifically, we have previously demonstrated the impact of anesthesia on global organization and local circuits in rodents using resting-state functional MRI (rs-fMRI). To further explore this impact in tas- based fMRI, we utilized optogenetics-fMRI (opto-fMRI) to examine the global impact of optically induced neural activation of infralimbic cortex in rodents. The results indicated that both the spatial extent and the amplitude of BOLD signal activation were reduced in the anesthetized state, compare to the awake state.
