Low-Frequency Oscillations of Cortical Oxidative Metabolism in Waking and Sleep
TLDR
The existence of a spontaneously oscillating metabolic phenomenon in cortex that is not directly related to neuroelectric activity is suggested, and experimental data concerning cerebral metabolism and blood flow that are obtained by clinical methods that employ relatively long sample acquisition times should be interpreted with caution.Abstract:
To study the changes in cortical oxidative metabolism and blood volume during behavioral state transitions, we employed reflectance spectrophotometry of the cortical cytochrome c oxidase (cyt aa3) redox state and blood volume in unanesthetized cats implanted with bilateral cortical windows and EEG electrodes. Continuous oscillations in the redox state and blood volume (∼9/min) were observed during waking and sleep. These primarily metabolic oscillations of relatively high amplitude were usually synchronous in homotopic cortical areas, and persisted during barbiturate-induced electrocortical silence. Their mean amplitude and frequency did not vary across different behavioral/EEG states, although the mean levels of cyt aa3 oxidation and blood volume during rapid eye movement (REM) sleep significantly exceeded those during waking and slow-wave sleep. These data suggest the existence of a spontaneously oscillating metabolic phenomenon in cortex that is not directly related to neuroelectric activity. A superim...read more

TL;DR: This work tested the hypothesis that fcMRI maps, based on the synchrony of low-frequency blood flow fluctuations, identify brain regions that show activation on fMRI maps of sensorimotor, visual, language, and auditory tasks.

Simultaneous assessment of flow and BOLD signals in resting-state functional connectivity maps
TL;DR: Results of this study suggest that while variations in blood flow might contribute tofunctional connectivity maps, BOLD signals play a dominant role in the mechanism that gives rise to functional connectivity in the resting human brain.

TL;DR: Sp spontaneous vascular and metabolic LFO and VLFO can be reproducibly detected by NIRS in the human adult and correspond to findings with transcranial doppler sonography (TCD) and fMRI (Biswal et al., 1997).

TL;DR: Results demonstrate that, unlike the evoked fMRI response that correlates with power changes in the γ bands, the resting-state fMRI signal correlates with the power coherence in low-frequency bands, particularly the δ band, suggesting that fMRI may be able to distinguish the ongoing from the evokes activity of the brain.
