Article Synopsis
- * A study on mice showed that deleting the K6.1 subunit led to lower resting cerebral blood flow and oxygen levels in the brain compared to normal mice.
- * Interestingly, while K6.1 deficiency impacted overall blood flow and oxygenation, it did not affect the brain's response to visual stimuli, indicating that other mechanisms may control these functional changes.
The use of functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in mice is increasingly prevalent, providing a means to non-invasively characterise functional abnormalities associated with genetic models of human diseases. The predominant stimulus used in task-based fMRI in the mouse is electrical stimulation of the paw. Task-based fMRI in mice using visual stimuli remains underexplored, despite visual stimuli being common in human fMRI studies.

Gelation times are measured to increase by over 4 orders of magnitude, simply changing the monovalent salt species from CsCl to LiCl. This striking effect has no microscopic explanation within current paradigms.
