Tissue-preparation neuronal-current MRI (ncMRI) was recently developed to directly detect neuronal activity without hemodynamic contamination. However, as a paramagnetic substance, the oxygen molecules present in the tissue may also alter the ncMRI signal through relaxivity and susceptibility effects. To study the effects of oxygen on the ncMRI signal and estimate their impact on tissue-preparation experiments, oxygen-induced MRI signal changes were formulated as a function of oxygen concentration (OC) of gas, oxygen consumption rate, and imaging parameters.
