In this work, we proposed a novel intravascular contrast for laminar specific fMRI in the human brain at 7T. This technique was shown to be sensitive to both cerebral blood volume (CBV) and flow (CBF) changes. We demonstrate that this new tool, with its highly specified functional layer profile, robust reproducibility and improved sensitivity, allows neuroscientific investigation of information flow across cortical microcircuits.
