fMRI Methods
Lecture 9 – The brain at rest
![Page 2: FMRI Methods Lecture 9 – The brain at rest. The brain never rests! Brain takes up 20% of the metabolites in the body during rest](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062619/5516c0aa550346f0208b586c/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
The brain never rests!
Brain takes up 20% of the metabolites in the body during rest.
![Page 3: FMRI Methods Lecture 9 – The brain at rest. The brain never rests! Brain takes up 20% of the metabolites in the body during rest](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062619/5516c0aa550346f0208b586c/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Energy costs
Energy consumption measured with PET (radioactive glucose consumption) during 4 conditions.
Which is rest and which is task?

Energy costs
Brain is always at max power: similar costs in all conditions
![Page 5: FMRI Methods Lecture 9 – The brain at rest. The brain never rests! Brain takes up 20% of the metabolites in the body during rest](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062619/5516c0aa550346f0208b586c/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Energy costs
Energy cost breakdown for running the cortex.
Most of the energy is spent on neural signaling.
![Page 6: FMRI Methods Lecture 9 – The brain at rest. The brain never rests! Brain takes up 20% of the metabolites in the body during rest](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062619/5516c0aa550346f0208b586c/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Information encodingGiven that energy consumption is almost constant:
Only relatively small populations of neurons respond strongly at any given time.
Relatively local, transient changes in neural activity represent stimuli evoked responses.
Hence the importance of: Attention and neurovascular coupling

Brain is never static!
Connected neural populations tend to synchronize and oscillate together.

Structure of rest activity
Spontaneous neural activity during rest and sleep may be random over time, but it’s not random over space.
Large neural populations are synchronized.
What are the characteristics of this activity?
How can we study them? No experimental structure?
Are there differences between rest, sleep, anesthesia?

Local spatial structure
Many occurrences of strong correlation between spontaneous and evoked columnar maps.
![Page 13: FMRI Methods Lecture 9 – The brain at rest. The brain never rests! Brain takes up 20% of the metabolites in the body during rest](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062619/5516c0aa550346f0208b586c/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Local spatial structure
Correlation between spontaneous “snapshots” and particular orientation columnar maps.
Visual cortex randomly moves from one map to another in the absence of stimulation (relatively quick transitions).
![Page 14: FMRI Methods Lecture 9 – The brain at rest. The brain never rests! Brain takes up 20% of the metabolites in the body during rest](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062619/5516c0aa550346f0208b586c/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Large spatial structure
Cortical areas with similar functionality (e.g. right and left auditory cortex) show strong and selective correlations.
Very slow hemodynamic changes over time.
![Page 15: FMRI Methods Lecture 9 – The brain at rest. The brain never rests! Brain takes up 20% of the metabolites in the body during rest](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062619/5516c0aa550346f0208b586c/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Functional connectivityAreas that are connected anatomically because of shared
functionality will be active together.
In reality this is just correlation – problematic interpretation

Inter-hemispheric correlations
Strongest correlations are between corresponding locations in the two hemispheres
![Page 17: FMRI Methods Lecture 9 – The brain at rest. The brain never rests! Brain takes up 20% of the metabolites in the body during rest](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062619/5516c0aa550346f0208b586c/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Default mode system
Three areas that show reduced activity during “external” tasks (e.g. visual, auditory, somatosensory stimulation)
![Page 18: FMRI Methods Lecture 9 – The brain at rest. The brain never rests! Brain takes up 20% of the metabolites in the body during rest](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062619/5516c0aa550346f0208b586c/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

Diagnosis by rest scans
If resting state correlations represent the functionality of the brain, abnormal correlations may represent abnormal functionality and enable an easy form of diagnosis.
Build a distribution of “normal” correlation values and test whether these deviate in particular neurological or psychiatric disorders.
