fMRI-based studies on neurodegenerative diseases rarely report single-subject information, which is useful for assessing potential biomarkers. In a previous fMRI study, CADASIL patients showed, at the group level, a significant reduction of the long-lasting visually stimulated hyperaemic response. Here, we used data interpolation and computed a hemodynamic response function from the 20-s visual response to achieve a 40-s response prediction at the individual level.

Neurovascular coupling (NVC), which mediates rapid increases in cerebral blood flow in response to neuronal activation, is commonly used to map brain activation or dysfunction. Here we tested the reemerging hypothesis that CO generated by neuronal metabolism contributes to NVC. We combined functional ultrasound and two-photon imaging in the mouse barrel cortex to specifically examine the onsets of local changes in vessel diameter, blood flow dynamics, vascular/perivascular/intracellular pH, and intracellular calcium signals along the vascular arbor in response to a short and strong CO challenge (10 s, 20%) and whisker stimulation.

Significance: All functional brain imaging methods have technical drawbacks and specific spatial and temporal resolution limitations. Unraveling brain function requires bridging the data acquired with cellular and mesoscopic functional imaging. This imposes the access to animal preparations, allowing longitudinal and multiscale investigations of brain function in anesthetized and awake animals.

Oxygen is critical for neural metabolism, but under most physiological conditions, oxygen levels in the brain are far more than are required. Oxygen levels can be dynamically increased by increases in respiration rate that are tied to the arousal state of the brain and cognition, and not necessarily linked to exertion by the body. Why these changes in respiration occur when oxygen is already adequate has been a long-standing puzzle.

Functional ultrasound (fUS) is an emerging technique that measures blood flow to report brain activity. In this issue of Neuron, Nunez-Elizalde et al. (2022) use simultaneous electrophysiological and fUS measurements to quantify the relationship between firing and fUS signals in awake mice.
