The ground-state fermion second-order reduced density matrix (2-RDM) is determined
variationally using itself as a basic variable. As necessary conditions of the N -representability, we …

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) in anesthetized rodents has been commonly
performed with α-chloralose, which can be used only for terminal experiments. To develop a …

Optical recording with a voltage‐sensitive dye was performed in visual cortical slices of the
rat to determine the effect of acetylcholine (ACh) on the spread of excitation. In the presence …

Neurovascular coupling studies are widely conducted in anesthetized animals using
functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). In this study, the dose‐dependent effects of …

The structure and hydrogen bonding of water in the vicinity of carboxybetaine homopolymer
(poly[1-carboxy-N,N-dimethyl-N-(2‘-methacryloyloxyethyl)methanaminium inner salt] (…

This article describes the effects of dexmedetomidine ( DEX ) – the active ingredient of
medetomidine, which is the latest popular sedative for functional magnetic resonance imaging ( …

Hemodynamic responses are commonly used to map brain activity; however, their spatial
limits have remained unclear because of the lack of a well-defined and malleable spatial …

Hemodynamic signals are routinely used to noninvasively assess brain function in humans
and animals. This work examined the contribution of inhibitory neuron activity on …

211 At is an α-emitter that has similar chemical properties to iodine and is used in targeted α-therapy.
In the present study, we added ascorbic acid (AA) to 211 At solution to increase the …

Whether conventional gradient-echo (GE) blood oxygenation-level-dependent (BOLD)
functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is able to map submillimeter-scale functional …
