  Radiology:   Two distinct mechanisms for negative correlations in rest functional connectivity MRI --- "Abstract Coherent low frequency fluctuations of the BOLD signal in resting state (rest-fcMRI) were shown to contain functional neuronal network information. Resting-state networks (RSN) exhibit positive correlations between the regions that constitute the network, suggesting a functional link between them. However, several RSNs were shown to have an inverse correlation between each other. The underlying physiological mechanisms and the relevance of negative correlations to neurobiology are not clear and are the subject of this study. We compared human and rat rest-fcMRI data, making use of both the similarities (e.g., similar organization: cortical vs. non-cortical structures, inter-hemispheric symmetry etc.) and differences (e.g., different hemodynamic characteristics such as cardiac rates and spatial distances) between them. In addition, the fact that the rats' cortex is relatively unfolded, enables to minimize confounding effects of CSF and large blood vessels on the rest-fcMRI correlations. We show that: (i) Negative correlations observed in rest-fcMRI reflect true physiological traits and are not the mere result of mathematical biases introduced by data analysis. (ii) At least two distinct mechanisms may underlay the appearance of negative correlations, reflecting the actual synchronization between regional neural activities on the one hand and their manifested BOLD signal responses on the other hand. (iii) The variant involvement of CBV in the hemodynamic responses of two different regions may introduce such negative correlations." , Gadi Goelman, PhD Associate Professor of Radiology Hebrew University Hospital Jerusalem Adjunct Associate Professor, NYU, Department of Radiology , 12:00 PM, CBI, 660 First Avenue, 4th Floor Large Conference Room - Contact Rania Assas at 212-263-3970 or at Rania.Assas@nyumc.org
