Awake rat fMRI has been growing in popularity in recent years because it eliminates confounds associated with the use of anesthesia. However, issues arising from animal restriction have not been completely identified or recognized by the research community. We conducted a pilot study on immobilization training for awake rat fMRI studies and provide some relevant experiences that highlight potential issues to be resolved.
