Synopsis

Recent literature brought up the existence of physiological and vascular brain networks, i.e. areas showing synchronous responses to cardiac and respiratory fluctuations or hypercapnia. In this work, we show how breath-hold-induced BOLD fMRI time series from a dense mapping dataset can be parcellated into physiologically-driven networks, showing evidence of vascular contributions to the default mode network, in individuals and at the group level.
