Multi-echo GRE was used to visualise BOLD signal changes in the midbrain, specifically targetting the subthalamic nucleus and substantia nigra, with submillimeter resolution. Midbrain clusters were very small and often only bordered the STN or SN, rather than falling robustly inside it, emphasizing the need for high spatial resolution.
