We developed a bilateral line-scanning fMRI method to investigate interhemispheric slow fluctuations (< 0.1 Hz) with laminar specificity in resting-state fMRI in anesthetized rats. Based on the coherence analysis, two distinct slow fluctuation features in symmetric cortices were identified: ultra-slow fluctuation (0.01-0.02 Hz) was synchronized across all cortical laminae, and Layer 2/3 specific slow fluctuations (0.08-0.1 Hz). In contrast to the ultra-slow fluctuation related to global brain state changes, the Layer 2/3 specific slow fluctuation is more likely associated with intrinsic neuronal correlation driven by the callosal projection.
