Synopsis

Keywords: Task/Intervention Based fMRI, fMRI (task based), Excitation and Inhibition balance, Mouse fMRI, Autism

Motivation: The hyper- or hyporeactivity to sensory input is a common diagnostic criterion in autism, potentially influencing BOLD signals.

Goal(s): Our study was centered on unraveling the underlying mechanisms governing the positive and negative BOLD responses to low and high sensory stimulus frequencies. A ratio of BOLD responses of high frequency to low frequency may reflect E:I balance.

Approach: Our study delved into BOLD responses during varied sensory stimulation frequencies

Results: We observed increased neural activity and BOLD responses at lower frequencies, contrasting with suppressed cortical activity and subsequent negative BOLD responses at higher frequencies.

Impact: A ratio of BOLD responses of high frequency to low frequency may reflect E:I balance, necessary for the clinical utility of BOLD fMRI to hyper- or hypo-reactivity responses to sensory inputs in autism
