Introduction: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is essential for brain imaging, but conventional methods rely on qualitative contrast, are time-intensive, and prone to variability. Magnetic resonance finger printing (MRF) addresses these limitations by enabling fast, simultaneous mapping of multiple tissue properties like T1, T2. Using dynamic acquisition parameters and a precomputed signal dictionary, MRF provides robust, qualitative maps, improving diagnostic precision and expanding clinical and research applications in brain imaging.

Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological disorders. Calcium dysregulation and neuroinflammation are essential and common mechanisms in epileptogenesis. Sarco/endoplasmic reticulum (ER) Ca-ATPase 2b (SERCA2b), a crucial calcium regulatory pump, plays pathological roles in various calcium dysregulation-related diseases.
