摘要

Detection of weak magnetic fields arising from neuronal electrical activities using magnetic-resonance imaging (MRI) is a potentially effective method for functional imaging of the brain. The purpose of this study is to theoretically and experimentally assess the influence of neuronal magnetic fields on magnetic-resonance signals. The neuronal magnetic field was modeled by using a current dipole formula, and the resulting magnetic-resonance signals were calculated for a voxel located close to the dipole. A current dipole strength of 12 nA$cdot$m resulted in the maximum signal drop of 0.6%. In the experiments, magnetic-resonance images of the rat brain were obtained by using a 4.7-T MRI system. A pair of electrodes was attached to the left sciatic nerve for electric stimulation. Images were obtained at ten time points of 0, 30, 60, $ldots$, and 270 ms after the electric stimulation. In the right somatosensory cortex, a transient decrease in the signal intensity was found at 0–30 ms after the stimulation, which was attributed to the effects of neuronal magnetic fields. A neuronal activation map was generated by a comparison of signal intensities between the images obtained at 30–60 ms and 60–90 ms. The right somatosensory cortex exhibited a statistically significant difference in these two groups of images.
