Synopsis

We used sub-millimeter resolution VASO fMRI at 7T to simultaneously map CBV-VASO and BOLD activation in the sensorimotor and somatosensory cortex during a finger digit mapping task. We reliably showed digit representation maps and quantified digit selectivity for both VASO-CBV and BOLD activations. VASO-CBV demonstrated a higher digit selectivity, confirming the higher spatial specificity of VASO-CBV.
