Motivation• Cerebral Blood Flow (CBF) influences the
BOLD Signal• Provide a measure of vascular reactivity

ASL(Arterial Spin Labeling)
• Uses RF inversion to “tag” blood and measure where it goes.

Proposed Work Plan
• Year 1: select, implement and test an ASL method
• Year 2: Parametric assessment of ASL variables
• Year 3: Develop algorithms for using baseline CBF in BOLD activation calculation
• Year 4: Validate at sites• Year 5: Incorporate into the fBIRN protocol

Cocaine
• Observed brain hypoperfusion after 6 months of abstinence
• May be to due to impaired cerebral vascular response
• Measure CBF during a vascular challenge (breathhold) to assess vascular reactivity
