TL;DR: It is shown here that NSC-derived (and LacZ-transfected), magnetically labeled oligodendroglial progenitors can be readily detected in vivo at least as long as six weeks after transplantation, with an excellent correlation between the obtained MR contrast and staining for β-galactosidase expression.

TL;DR: In MRI of the human brain, large improvements in contrast to noise in high-resolution images are possible by exploiting the MRI signal phase at high magnetic field strength, an almost 10-fold improvement over conventional MRI techniques that do not use image phase.

TL;DR: Functional MRI is used to compare the functional neuroanatomy of motor execution and imagery using a task that objectively assesses imagery performance, including the effects of imagery performance and stimulus-dependency on brain activity.

TL;DR: The results suggest that activity in areas such as the default‐mode network and primary sensory cortex, as measured from BOLD fMRI fluctuations, does not require a level of consciousness typical of wakefulness.

TL;DR: Time-sh shifted cardiac rate timecourses were included as regressors in addition to established physiological regressors to suggest that including such time-shifted cardiac rate regressors will be beneficial for explaining physiological noise variance and will improve the statistical power in future task-based and resting-state fMRI studies.
